I think it was pig skin....

I had to shoot this gun.

I loaded up 5 rounds with Barnes originals .510, 450 grain bullets and some Varget.   I shot these standing over tripod stick at a red Leupold target at 25 yards.   

All my shooting and gun life I have listened to the old guys whine about having a hard time seeing the sights.  Now that I am one of them, I "see" what they were whining talking about. Even with corrective cataract surgery things are better, just not best. It was difficult to get a clearly defined sight picture.  Worn sights and red target, did not get me a lot of clear definition.

I fired 3 shots into 3 inches, centered but 7 inches high from point of aim. 
Not anything stellar.  But definitely showing potential.

I let a 15 year old kid with young eyes fire the last two rounds.  His first round went into my group.  The second round he fired was 8 inches low and right-a classic jerk the trigger, buck the shoulder  shot.  We all got a good laugh at this-his dad caught it all on video.  But the kid was all smiles getting to fire this 150 year old classic Indian Tiger rifle.

Time for some serious range work.  I have wait for fire season to be over.  Right now wildfires are burning out by the gun club.
