Brought the bcd 45 lsr to the range today

[8x57mauser]

Decided to bring this one out of the safe for a little trip to the range today. I had picked up an rc recently that had an "e" subcontracted trigger which as I suspected was phosphate under the Russian blue. The sear with it was a late war type and numbered 83 which is the last two digits on the LSR so i figured they should be together and I pulled the double set triggers out and installed this one. Well put it on the paper at 100 meters and put 5 rounds in a 1" square, three of which were in a dime sized group. Maybe I missed my calling to be a sniper?

Nicely done! Can't wait to get my LSR resto project done and out to the range. What ammo were you shooting?

these were the home cooked brand. I load a 200gr FMJ over 48.6gr IMR 4895 its a tight fit but it just barely makes it. Not sure how fast its going but I would wager in the 2700+ FPS range because it kicks harder than Turk.
