Lovin Lapua...from an Eley man

Post by hambone49 »

I tested some lots of CenterX in my 2013 at Winny with Adam's and Kevin's help. Well one lot shot 5 shots .710 at 100 meters I bought all he had, and Adam's shipment arrived thursday in time for our club prone match. Here's what it did at 50 yards, my best target ever. The bums even accused me of firing two shots and tanking three into the berm. And this is their third best ammo? Love ya bud, now where's my rug?

I've seen your trigger jerk, it's highly possible the other three hit the berm even if not on purpose! Haha

Nice shooting!

Very funny, but not much jerking going on when I'm laying on my belly with my arm strapped in synthetic leather. 1596 today, my Master card is on it's way...

Looks good Hammy! Congrats on the master. That looks like the 50 yard groups I've been getting. Consistent stuff. SK+ has been right there with it. I just don't have your money. :D

Great target Hammy, congrats on the Masters....Aren't you glad I was the little voice in the corner of the tent saying "better buy all you can get, you may never find anything that shoots that well again"...lol....now you need to shoot a few groups with Xact...

Now Hammy what you need to do is get your little one shooting and will get her as a model on the cover of the Lapua catalog.
And Randy is not nor has ever been close to a sniff of a boyfriend....don't insult my boyfriend Pat Steiger who is about to find out what the last word is.
