Took it to the Range as I wanted to get the sights set for the 125 gr. Gold Dot over 18.5 gr. of 2400. Shot it at 25 yards using a barrel rest and two hand hold.

With the rear sight screwed down all the way it hits just a bit high at 25 yards which is perfect for me. I put the black tape on the target so my old eyes could see the aiming point better. I held 6 o'clock on the bottom edge of the black.

The old gun is accurate enough ... the nut holding the grip needs help. Other loads I fired before setting the sights for the Gold Dot load.

I chose the Gold Dot load because I may try to take a deer with it later. The deer are small and the distances close where I will be. Not sure if I will or not, but I wanted to be ready in case.
