It has been a while since I had time to get to the range and shoot. Last year in fact, I had started to sight in my MK-95 .54 and had been playing around with my 45 Elite and some 9mm bullets for woodchuck. I decided to abandon this for now since it is getting late in the season here and the crops are tall. Time to re-sight for deer.
Guns and loads
#1 MK-95 Magnum Elite .54 cal.
BH209 100 gr. vol.
CCI 250 LRMP
MMP Purple
325 Uni-Core
#2 45 DISC Elite
BH209 110 gr. vol.
Rem STS
MMP Tan
185 Lehigh
My process is the same as has been posted on here numerous times, Swab with alcohol then dry patch, pop three primes load powder. index sabot with thimble and send it home. Prime fire repeat. I experience the first shot flyer as do many others have not found any lock ease yet to try and dissolve the flyer. Guns were rotated between barrels never got hotter than warm to the touch. No swabbing between shots.
First up was the MK last time I shot this gun it was shooting a little to the right, I was surprised to see it almost dead on. It seems to like the Uni-Cores. I also tried some 400 gr. Seirra JSP (top left) and some 350 gr. Hornady XTP Mags (top right). There was some shooter error and some shooter fatigue involved. I think I can do better will proceed with load development.
Second was the Elite and again I was surprised to see it shooting straight since I had been messing around with different loads. Its a tad high I like a 100 yd. Zero but it shot really well. Back when I bought this gun, squezer sent me a bunch of bullets to try from it and I never got around to it. Today I figured what the hay. I tried the 200 gr. XTP (top left) and the 155 gr. XTP (bottom left) powder remained the same. I pulled one of the 200 XTP's
I will check them again as the weather cools.
