I went and shot in the KISA rifle and pistol steel plate match today. Boy, did I do a nose dive straight into the ground.
First off my rifle wouldn't shoot. I cleaned it today and when I put it back together I used the Remington instructions. They said to use 11 ft in of torque. When I used that much the bolt would hardly move. I backed it off some and went to the match.
I could never get it to shoot 5 rounds without missing. I went to the rimfire shooting web page http://rimfireshooting.com and asked for advice. The people said to use no pressure on the guide rails. I have changed the pressure on my guide rails and I will go see if it works better this week. It does seem to cycle a lot better than it used to.
Next stop was rimfire pistol. I pulled out my trusty High Standard Victor and went to the line. I have been having a lot of trouble with misfires in it. I sent it back to be cleaned but it was still misfiring. It looked like the fire pin was hitting the cases hard enough, they just weren't going off.
I switched to CCI standard velocity. Not one misfire. I can live with that.
Nest stop - centerfire pistol. My .45 acp would always go off, I just couldn't hit anything. I changed my load and haven't checked it on paper yet. I am going to make it a point to do so.
