Well folks, today I hit the 600 rd mark with the Mono and she is running top notch with zero issues.

Before I commence any further, I want to thank big forum member Carcrazysammy, who lives near me for great shooting instructions and other help. Was a pleasure shooting with you and the other guys today. Sammy also brought a FN SCAR 17 and an BCM AR 15 and I got to shoot both. I want a .308 now....:rolleyes:

So here are a few pics from today's adventure. I even got brave and hit the 25 yd line for about 50 rds.

Here's my best grouping from 15 yds, look at that lower left one...woo hoo:

And here we are at 25 yds, let's just say I was getting tired at this point. Yeah, that's it, I was getting tired....:D

Can't wait to get to the range again and get her all dirtied up again.

Thanks for looking.

Cool beans! What did you finally decide to do about your fitment dilemma?

PS, those stainless guns sure make knowing where you need to clean easy! Makes me wonder what's lurking in the recesses of my parkerized guns.

Not going to do anything right now about the serrations, came to the realization that they give my pistol character and that there are more important things in life to fret over.

Ellison, you are so right my friend!!!:)

I wish that was all I had to worry about now. It looks like you had a great time at the range and the groupings look good to me.:)

Glad to hear Mono break in is complete... Now is the time to figure out what bullet weight and gunpowder she shoots the best with....:):D:eek:

Roger that...all I have shoot is 230 gr ball ammo, 500 factory and 100 of my reloads. Sammy, the guy I've been shooting with, is suggesting I try 200 gr LSWC's, he says they're more accurate than the plated rn. I have to burn through what I have before I buy any other bullets.

The 25 yd targets were shot with my reloads, so I'd say they are decently accurate. I just need to get steadier.
