Shooting Artillery Luger at 200 yards

[spartacus38]

Well here are the results:

Artillery Luger with stock at 200 yards.

Bench rest resting gun on jacket .115 grain Winchester FMJ.

I shot a total of 9 FIVE shot groups with rear sight settings

at 200 and 300 meters.

Target size: 2' wide by 3 1/2' high which is too small.

Group Hits Group Size Rear Sight Setting

1 --- 4 --- 29" --- ?

2 --- 3 --- 27.25 --- ?

3 --- 4 --- 15.5 --- 300meters

4 --- 4 --- 27 --- 300

5 --- 3 --- 14.5 --- 200

6 --- 3 --- 25 --- 300

7 --- 4 --- 11.5 --- 300

8 --- 4 --- 16 --- 200

9 --- 3 --- 19.5 --- 200

Total of 32 hits out of 45 shots

Rear sight setting at 200 meters : Average of 5" below the

point of aim.

Rear sight setting at 300 meters: Average of 10.5" above

the point of aim.

Average difference between 200m and 300m settings: 15.5".

Groups size average:

The 4 three hit groups: 21.6"

the 5 four hit groups: 19.8"

In conclusion, I was not able to shoot one group where all

5 shots hit the target.Therefore I will try again with a larger

target.

I would not want to be 200 yards from someone shooting

at me with a stocked Artillery Luger.
