I have been shooting my 25 LBT at 260 yards on a metal clad target. The painted target allows me to see the hits at the shooting point and paint over them for the next group. I have a 12 inch serving plate metal disk suspended by bungie cords so I can hear a different metalic noise when when the bulleye is hit. At 260 yards the bullets pass thru both metal plates and thru the 1/2 "plywood backing.
The bullets 57 grain LBT cast bullets from a 17 inch barreled Talon with no choke and valve and fire control parts from a Airarcher arrow conversion give me around 120 FPE for 4 shots before needing to refill. I am using a Burris 2x7 Fullfield scope which altho lacking in power after shimming allows me to dial into the target at 260 yards.
At 260 yards the rifle still has more FPE than a 25 acp does at the muzzle.
Sunday afternoon after the fog lifted and the winds died down I shot these 5 shots into 4.5 inches from the prone postition while tethered to a 3000 PSI scba bottle.
The shooting position from the house deck.
The range, the target can be seen as a small white dot over the roof of the sheep shed.
