Yesterday was a banner day at the range. Temp was around 61*s with no wind and a bright sunny day. Not a cloud in the sky. Great day to be making smoke :!: :!: :!:
Yesterday I tried a few different ideas and they seemed to work for me. Here's how it went.
1st target...PT GOLD 300'S KNURLED W/Harvester Crushed Sabot
2nd target.. Barnes TE-Z's 290 gr w/ EZ Load Harvester smooth sabot
3rd target..Trophy Coppers 270 gr. (5 SHOTS HERE) 1st and 5th shot were at 6 oclock. The 2nd,3rd and 4th were at 8 oclock. Maybe a pressure thing :?:
4th target.. Mono Flex ML 250 gr. w/ red sabot.................At this time this maybe my hunting bullet this year. Although Barnes weren't bad either.
There only 3 shots at each target except for the Trophy Coppers. The 2 covered holes on the Barnes target was used earlier that morning.
I never adjusted the scope for each bullet. Never swabbed the barrel until I was done but pulled the breech plug to clear it from carbon.
I weigh all my charges. I like consistency and that's why I take the time to weigh each and every charge. They are always all the same. I find that if you fill a volume measurer to say 110 grains and stop, some times if you tap it you can get more powder in the measurer. That won't happen if you weigh the charge. It's the same all the time......... IMHO of course....I know a lot of guys disagree but what ever puts them in the "X" for you and what your happy with I say.........
Ray............. :yeah:
