i cannot believe how bad the hornady 250 gr ftx shoot out of this gun. rum 45 conversion brux, breech, brake. i got the bullet sizing all dialed in and went out hoping to practice with the much cheaper hornady's and at 100 yds, 24"x24" target with a little orange circle in the middle, first shot was not bad, , second didn't even hit the paper, i think i found a big hole in the target frame , third was higher than first. essentially a 14" group at 100 yds. chrono showed nice number for all. hopefully see attached pic now, i called each shot as being good, just like the next group.
i had not cleaned gun, it was still fouled from previous day, in which i had shot parker black max 250 gr and 300 parker be, all with fine results
then i shoot 300 gr parker ballistic extremes. wow, 1/2 moa group see pic, it is also in lower right of the hornady group pic
how can the hornady's shoot so bad, is this normal, anyone else have similiar experience. i had bought them hoping to practice without breaking the bank,,, hoping for maybe 2 moa or something. geeez i can't practice with something that shoots this bad. stuck with 2 boxes,,,,,
is there something i am doing wrong with the hornady's?
i am shooting open sights, lyman front globe, rear williams peep. 86 gr
i have in the past seen folks post (another forum) "take your 3 shot group and go home, we only accept 5 shot groups!" well at 2 bucks a shot, i do 3 shot groups
