Curtis, it would be interesting to see what it does at 200yds, but I don't have a nearby range that long. I think the reason they used longer distances was the close-in limitations of the original battle sights on the 1903 - they were ladder style and I think the battle zero was about 425 yards. I think the match shooting course of fire today is done at 200, 300, 500 and 1,000 yards.

Anyway, I'll do some more tinkering and post targets if it improves. I'm afraid I need to wait a few days between sessions when shooting this rifle in a t-shirt from a bench. The 165gr recoil is a little bruising to the shoulder after 20 rounds or so.
