The 350gr XLD with BH209 and at 2183fps I have at .275 (G8)
300gr Pittman Accumax at .325
275gr Pittman Accumax at .300
I don't have a clue right now where my Fury information is
No worries. I managed to get BC’s for everything except the Fury’s. I’ll contact Dennis for that. Thank you!!!!Thank you very much!
Which bullets are the “LabRadar” verified BC’s applicable for?
Those are the Arrowhead XLD bullets. They shoot extremely accurate and actually was the bullet that won the Atterbury match, along with also being the second place bullet.Thank you very much!

I suggest that you have a good node, right at 2350/1fps at #6 & #7.I too shot the patriot today, checking FPS for a barrel node. I shot the Fury 275, black tip, win 209 primers and vihtavuori n120 powder. Started out low with 49.5 grains, worked in 1/2 grain increments up to 53.0 grains. Did not find any good nodes yet. Going to work my way up to 55.0 grs. Next time. First three shots were fouling shots at the 49.5 grains. When i hit 53.0 grains that little patriot started kicking my shoulder pretty good. Never did this kind of test before on a muzzleloader, hope it pays off. The fps at the 53.0 grains was 2411. Hope to find a node soon. The 275 kick alot harder than the 250's. View attachment 22212
With SML, loading force isn't the issue. Extensive testing shows that the force to load a bullet has no significant impact on accuracy or velocity with smokeless propellants.I just shot my 45cal Woodman Patriot for first time today. I worked up to 55grains of smokeless N120 powder smooth forming my lightest 0.452” bullet - 245grain Hornady Interlock. Recoil was firm but tolerable. I was not satisfied with groups with this bullet - may honestly be because I sized it too loose - but plan is to try something else next week. I’ll probably try the 270grain Northern Precision Pinpoints next time.
Thank you. I’ll definitely try another bullet and multiple powders, I’ll check all torques, and I’ll verify scope on another rifle known to be accurateWith SML, loading force isn't the issue.

That is NOT the same with BH209 for the record.
That makes sense to me too. Good luck with with it!Thank you both. I also used the Fury veggie wad. Was not shooting for groups, just wanted a node. I see that number 6 to number 7 even lost 1 fps. I was looking for a three shot node. Did not think a 2 shot node would do. I will try the average as you said Encore50A. Thank you for helping.
Graphing the test out gives you an entirely different perspective.Thank you both. I also used the Fury veggie wad. Was not shooting for groups, just wanted a node.

For me, they're all junk which is why I need to do the test over again. When I did shoot for groups, I went with 88.2grs. Not happy with the results, yet.2? Shot 6-7, and 8-9. 2, 2 shot nodes is what i see?
