So I've been shooting my encore a ton.... I put a new Vortex HSLR 4-16-44 on it... I dropped my powder charge from 120 down to 100 of BH209. I have the gun zeroed for 100 and its shooting a 250 gr Barnse TEZ with 100grs of BH209 at 1920 FPS.....
Im shooting 1MOA at 100 yards but when I reach out to 160 and 225 I have a decent amount (75%)of rounds that are impacting left....
Im shooting off a lead sled and am beyond frustrated....
Im also noticing today in the snow that there is a fair amount of unburned powder onto of the snow in front of the bench.... Any one have any suggestions..
I have buddy who used to be a sniper in the Army that thinks the bullet isn't making contact with the rifling.. Im going to attempt to scrub the piss out of it tonight with a brass brush. My current cleaning procure was 1 dry patch,1 paths saturated in 209 cleaner 4 more dry patches then 1 cap fired.... I was under the impression that it was bad to get the bore extremely clean for BH209.... Im lost now...
