[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3773574, member: 15054"] I'm back and it was only me there for all 3 ranges. A recent Hi-Point 40 cal Carbine I bought did pretty decent. I did stick a scope on it though. Found a good load for it shooting cast Lee 180 gr. powder coated bullets about 1.3" at 50 yards for 4 shots. shot number 5 I sent to the 100 yard target and it hit 4" low and 2" left. I will be making many more of those. Wind was blowing a bit. You can sure hear a difference in sub sonic loads and loads that are above the speed of sound. Loud crack Vs a Thud. Some fools have been putting clays on the target posts but other than that it looked pretty nice out there. I set one clay at 80 yards and hit it with the 40. Shot the 6.5 CM Axis. Some neck turned 3x shot hand cleaned cases vs 1x shot tumbled cases not neck turned. Neck turned hand cleaned 4 shots went .6" and the other load went 1.1" I have been out 3 times testing that same deal neck turned vs not and each time neck turned in this rifle wins by cutting the group size in 1/2 or more. R-P cases. My rat load in 45acp cycled the Taurus!!! I have no idea what the load is as I made it a few years ago and the Hi-Point 45 would not strike the rifle primers hard enough to set it off. I know it is #12 shot and it will bounce off a board or rubber mat and hit you in the face. Learned that when I first shot a couple of them. [/QUOTE]
