345gr MAX HP Accuracy test

[exMember]

Tried a new load of 70gr Olde Eynsford 1.5fg today in my Traditions Hawken 1:48 twist at 50 yards today. A bullet that I call the MAX HP in 345gr (after lubing ) They load up super nicely and best yet, they group! No swabbing, no issues reloading. Next time I will try loads of 80 & 90gr OE 1.5fg and see how she handles heavier charges. Its shooting 2" low. I actually was aiming at a target that was behind this target, but that is ok. Once I swap my regular hunting sight on, she'll be a couple inches high then at 50 yards.

Good to see a Range Report for a change on the forum. Nice shooting FG.
Did you use your anti-rust lube?
