On a day when the range temperature was around 13degC, the first card produced too many flyers to give a good score:
Overall the card scored as a 72 ex 100 with none in the 10-ring.
For the round 2 card I decided to change the patch to a thicker 0.015 Ox-Yoke prelubed. I went with the prelubed as I didn't have any of the plain 0.015 J.T. Tanner patches with me.
Patches: 0.015" Ox-Yoke prelubed
This resulted in a tighter group with the 10 scoring shots all touching or inside the black.
With the thicker patch, and slightly harder loading, the final card score was an 81.1
