I went to the lease to shoot my encore and forgot my powder
I had to use the Pyro pelletts.
I shot the PB 270 platinums at 25 yards with 2 pelletts.It didn't go well
I am not a great shooter but either the bullets didn't like the load or some other reason.
I am going to try again with loose powder and diff charges.
I want to get a caldwell lead sled to take me out of the picture.

I did shoot the SW 250's with 3 pelletts and shot them good.I sighted them in dead on @ 100yards using the Nikon Omeaga scope with BDC reticle.Recoil wasnt that bad.
I am almost 6'8" and the scope wont go any farther forward so I put a slip on recoil pad on it to incresae the LOP.
Once I get all the things I need for proper shooting I will try again.
 
Yep thats one thing i warned you about with the TC and the new Powerbelt gas seal. TC's and the new Knights do not seem to shoot well with these new bullets. Not quite sure why either. Could try last years load with 80g pyrodex and see how it performs this time. That would be interesting to see.
 
I got a GN gift certificate for my 50th birthday(yesterday) so I thought I would try some diff PB's
 
Ah jeez! I knew there was something important yesterday. I am up in Northern New Mexico right now fixing my bro in laws truck.

Happy Belated Birthday Sax! :bom:
