Do you use your hand loads to get on paper?

[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2106833, member: 75451"] I always do bore sighting using the “bolt pulled” method, but as I am a “cheap scape” .....I always make my initial shots at 100 yards using a 11x17” target paper, and never have an issue with missed shots! It’s a very accurate method, with smaller bore rifles, a bit more difficult when the bore gets larger than 3/8”. If you’re concerned with missing at 100 with the initial shot.....place a large piece of freezer paper behind your target. That should capture any errant shots. The only time I’ve gone less than 100, is when I’m shooting a lever action, and the bolt is somewhat difficult or impractical to remove. Recently, I did just that at 50 yards. Almost missed my freezer paper.....probably should have started @ 25 yards! :D memtb [/QUOTE]
