took the s91 to the range today. prolly went thru about 50 rounds total . . . tha dam breechplug was stuck tight when ah got home 
anyway, not sure about thuh reeesults . . . ahm wonderin' how much "shooter error" had tuh do with it. one things for sure, the reemingtun caps solved the hangfire problem in the s91 just like they did in the lightnin. here's uh pic of the s91:
its a good lukin' rahfle . . . no doubt about it ;D
aaight . . . here we go. ah had tree types o' projectiles on hand: 1) bullshop nei 373's @ 500 g. sized tuh .504 2) white powerpunches sent from doc w/ the rifle, ah believe approx. 400 g. and .503 diameter and . . . 4 . . . ah mean 3) 250 g. .452 xtp in tha black mmp sabot. ah only used wun type o' powder, t7 ffg, cause ah didnt want tuh clean up pyrodex p or blackpowder. now . . . here's how it unfolded (and ah apologize to those of u who have dialup cause dere's lots o' picturs): oh yeah, and all powder charges are by volume:
ah started out w/ 65 g. t7 and the 500 g. bullshop nei 373 at 50 METERS. two shots, a scope adjustment, and one more shot:
not too good, so ah adjusted tha powder charge up to 70 g. t7:
why do two holes clip each other and then wun flies? ah dunno, so ah adjust thuh powder charge to 75 g. t7. 5 shots . . . 4 w/ in less than in inch CTC, yet there still a flyer (second shot, just like the previous target). keep in mind this is FIVE SHOTS . . . the second shot is the flyer . .. is the 2nd shot operator error or ???? (still at 50 meters, btw)
at this point im starting to wunder if swabbing has something tuh do with the flyers. up until this point, i have been swabbing once per group. i.e. for each three shot group, one swab in-between groups, and for that last (spectacular) five shot group, only one swab before i shot the entire group. so i decide to try a 3-shot group w/ 75 g. t7 swabbing between EACH SHOT:
yet again, only one flyer, w/ two shots cloverleafing (the 2nd shot is the flyer). at this point i decide to move the target back to 100 meters. i fired two 5-shot groups w/ the nei 373's. both were with 75g. t7. first group:
adjusted the scope since they were hitting a little low . . . also i was concerned (as always) about operator error. so i wanted to fire one more 5-shot group w/ the exact same powder charge and bullet to see if i had screwed anything up:
as u can see, the group was even worse, but three of those shots made a very nice group . . . hmmmm . . . : at this point i ran out of bullshop bullets. so . . . i figgered i'd try some plastic.
moved the target back to 50 meters and shot a 3 shot group w/ 250 g. xtp's and 80 g. t7:
thats good. then i upped the charge to 85 g. t7:
clearly the group spread a little, so i figured the s91, like my lightnin, liked 80 g. better than 85 g. w/ the xtp's. so then i moved the target on out to 100 meters. the first three shots went into approximately ONE INCH::::::
but then i made the MISTAKE of firing TWO MORE SHOTs which impacted several inches to the top left and the lower right of the original group ("flyers" or whatever the f they were are marked by the notation "WTF").
at this point, i wasnt sure if i had caused those last two flyers or not . . . i wasnt sure if i could even shoot groups. i didnt know what the hell was going on. it seemed quite clear at first that the concials were just shooting more erratically than the sabots, and that it wasnt my fault. but after those last two shots . . . i didnt know. my confidence was shattered, so i temporarily said "to hell with muzzleloading," broke out the GLOCK .40 S&W, and shot the following target:
oh yeah, i shot those powerpunches too . . . they didnt group. i didnt even bother, i could tell that they were slipping down the barrel too easy (target shot @ 50 meters):
