Three shots on target each day.
Rifle used is the Knight UltraLite with a 3.5-10 scope mounted. Breech plug is a perfectly sealing Bestill Creations rear sealing plug. Bolt is a bare primer bolt.
Bullet used is the Fury 265g STB sized down to about 0.4503" so that it goes easily down the barrel to the powder.
A vegetable fiber wad is used between powder, and bullet.
Yesterday the sight is the bottom target. The barrel needs swabbed between shots. Powder charge is 115g of 777ff. Primer is CCI shotgun primer.
This morning' sight is the top target. Powder charge is 105g of Blackhorn. Primer is Federal 209A.
Observation
777ff is accurate. 777ff is easy to clean. Judging by point of impact 777ff provides less energy -- speed, than Blackhorn.
Blackhorn is accurate. Blackhorn is a little harder to clean. Using solvents made for 777 first, then Blackhorn solvents, makes cleaning Blackhorn easier. Breech plug comes out easier using Blackhorn. Even less of Blackhorn, easily makes more energy than 777ff.
