Good challenge with 10 rounds on an MR31. I've shot lots of NRA Highpower matches and we did 20 rounds for record with iron sights on the MR31. I'm not suggesting that we go back to iron sights, that era is pretty much over but 20 rounds is a lot harder than 10. You start to get tired and maybe a bit bored and when you have 10 rounds in the 10 ring with ten more shots to go the pressure really builds. With iron sights my biggest problem was eye fatigue from staring through those iron sights. I finally started to listen to the old guys and took a Visine break every 7 or 8 rounds. It really helped despite having to break down and rebuild my position. I've only shot a 200 twice at 100 yds. The best I ever did was 200-13x and that was with IMR 4064 with a Sierra 69. I ran out of RE-15 after Sandy Hook and could not find any but I had 4064 and used that on the advise of another shooter and I was seriously surprised how well it shot out of my 24" space gun.
