No problem. Ya damn terrorists!

I filed the rear sight last night and got it perfect, or so it seems lol. Hope to go out on my new bench tomorrow and give the Apex and the GPR a try just to break it in. Going to look for a basket to screw onto the side of the bench to hold my cleaning supplys.

Neat idea. You might also cut a "v" notch about two inches deep on one edge and line it with carpet or foam padding to lean your gun in for swabbing and loading.

Hey Ron, do you really need lube since you have the paper as a patch of sorts between the bullet and bore? Also, can you post a picture of the paper before and as it is wraped onto the bullet? Thanks

Ya, you still need a small amount of lube to keep the fouling from stripping the paper off the bullet after the first shot.
I will take some pictures of the whole process and post them soon. I got too much going on tonight to get it done. Ron

FG - Impressive shooting. (trying to get back onto your post). I wouldn't worry about the difference in POI between you and your brother. Sight picture or shooting technique could make that much difference. If you're shooting only 4" low at 100 yds that's great. Looks like any deer at that range and in is in serious trouble.
