[QUOTE="RetiredTater, post: 3781252, member: 32190"] This past weekend. Due to health issues (medication) needed a lighter recoil than the trusty .30-06. So..... Shot my new barrel out of a recently acquired Thompson Encore. Old barrel is .223, new barrel is 28" 6.5 Creedmoor with a Vortex Viper 6-24x50. Also, shot my recently acquired Colt Hold Cup National Match in .45 ACP. Both were kind of dream guns because they belonged to my Dad and I found who bought them when he died, made the deal, and got them this weekend. Both shot really well! The Gold Cup has a light recoil spring, and was probably ly easier shooting than my 9mm with the light loads. The 6.5, it didn't want to hit the bullseye. It would hit anything else I aimed at like the 6 on the target, but it is apparently scared of the bullseye. Need to get the last kid out with .22s and ARs and his deer rifle sometime, or even his (my) new Enfield that was bought with money from his first job. [/QUOTE]
