    Finally back from work and completed range induction so I could give this a crack.
    Was more than a little nervous as this was the first time I would pull a trigger this year!!
    Had loaded up some of a known good load but in Virgin new brass of another brand.
    Lined up on center bull and let rip 10 shots from cold...I knew I had a couple a bit wide as technique was pretty rusty.
    Swapped to the prc and my reduced load for the Son....by shot 4 mirage off of the suppressor was an issue and shots 8 to 10 were just a guess where the aimpoint was
    Then back to the 223 and some hornady black 60gr fmj

    I was pretty bloody happy with that considering I had been so long off of the trigger so I had a crack at @Spanners drill target.

    This didn't go quite as well as can be seen by the results but my list of excuses is as follows.

    Boon and crocket reticle completely covers the dot and about half a dot all around the dot.

    I was rapidly losing light.

    I was getting cold.
