went to the range today and shot my 3 guns with the new BH209. i was giving them a bit of a torture test.
the 3 guns are Triumph, knight master hunter, knight long range hunter.
all shots were with 120grs of BH209 and W209 primers
results at 100yds
the main shooting was done with the t/c and the LRH. my master hunter is nothing but a pain, i have never gotten any consistancey with any load i shot. the temp was about 70 when i started and low humdity, little wind. i got on paper at 50yds then moved out to 100yds.
bullets used:
LRH-300gr scoprion pt gold with crush rib, 290gr TMZ with yellow sabot
triumps-250gr TMZ with yellow sabot
master hunter-250gr MZ and 250gr TMZ
results
all bullets loaded the same regardless of the number of shots i took without swabing.
the LRH was great to shoot, the crush ribs loaded easy and shot good.
it's a toss up as between which of the two bullets shot better. i did have hang fires, probably about 5. i'm using the concave FPJ plug. a few of the hang fires caused me flyers. i don't understand why this is happening.
harvester scorpion pt gold 300gr
290tmz (hangfire on the left)
triumph

master hunter
I give up with this gun. i only shot it a few times as you can see. it's all over the place. these were 250tmz and 250mz. i sent it to knight and they said nothings wrong with it. they sent me a target but i can't get it to shoot.
all barrels cleaned easy. i did have blowback through the breech plugs on the knights. i will try thread tape to see if that prevents it. there is a build up of residue on the bolt and infront of the bolt face in the "chamber" and it's hard to get to to clean.
I believe that's all the vital info i have. if yo uhave any questions let me know.
i did have a hard time cleaning the bolt face and chamber area of the knights. and the t/c had more residue around the primer area of the plug. like there was blow back coming around the primer. didn't happen with 777.
