Excellent
I'm hoping to find time tomorrow to try mine in the chassis.
What ammo are you trying?

It is made of translucent material which admits some light to the eye. Apparently it is a mistake to use something opaque. I used a piece of stiff clear plastic.

I'm not using any app.
I just take photos (with my Nokia N95 6Gb) of the targets before I pull them down, then I note on them when I get back to the bench what was shot where.
After uploading them to the PC I open them in Windows Edit to write the notes on them and draw circles enclosing the groups. I measure the groups with a vernier - which is why they're just rounded to near enough.
I want to set up a camera down at the target butt to record the shooting so I can look for any patterns, but I don't use a smart phone so I haven't worked out a way to view it remotely.

Gamerancher wrote:If you were still looking to shoot some silhouette,I reckon you would get good service by using the CCI standard for practice and informal club shooting and build up to using the Eley Edge at larger competitions. The CCI standard has had a good reputation for a while now. My Sako P94S has a preference for the high end Lapua, but, I get very similar performance out of much cheaper ammo, albeit with the odd "flyer". For practice and club days that is tolerable for me. I save the high end stuff for big matches and only then if I'm shooting well. At $0.50 to $1 a shot, they are expensive holes in the dirt if you're not on your game.
