I got a couple tie plates given to me and figured I'd put 'em to use somehow. I put a YHM folding front sight on the Del-Ton. Pinned and welded a new compensator on it. Never sighted it in, and this was the outcome. 100 yards, prone, rested on my wrist. I'm happy with the result. 10 shots, only 9 hits, because the shepherd's hook fell over. The last bullet went into the pink can lid you can see at the very right edge of the picture. Bullets were some Mid-South Shooters Supply PSP Varmint Nightmare 55 gr. over 25.5 grains of Hodgdon Varget.

 

Not too bad for iron sights.

Today I brought out the Kel-Tec Sub2000 9mm. Same 100 yards, prone, with some of my reloads. Also, looking at the back of the 1/2" steel plate, you can see the .223 had enough gas to knock the rust off.

I've hit a point where all I want to shoot is steel or clay a metal clink or a poof of dust says hit better than a hole in a piece of cardboard.

My son went with that same yhm front sight on the AR I "sold" him when he free floated the barrel they're a nice sight.

I've been looking at the Kel-Tecs again I went with a Mech-Tec / glock 9 but I'm thinking about something in a 40 S&W now.

I understand the clink or puff of dust. And steel sure lasts longer than paper.

 

Yesterday I gave the plate a coat of spray paint so it's easier to see. I took out my Mossberg 702 Plinkster Tactical .22 LR (1st Gen). I opened the window in the porch door and shot from there, standing, using the door as a rest and recorded it to video. This is for anyone who thinks that "peep and post" sights are hard to use or aren't accurate. 10 out of 10 hits on the plate from just about 120 yards. Not bad for a .22LR with no optics. (Click the picture and turn up the volume.)

 

 

And the results.
