Nice morning at the range, no wind, temp around 70*F
So far, my Apex 45-70 SML is not picky about bullets, I shot this 5 shot group off my homemade rice filled bag. I was very pleased with the results.
BearCreekBallistics .451 285gr all copper ball point bullet, the bullet was smooth sized with a loose fit and knurled back up, loading pressure was light-med.
Federal LRMP with brass module and .060 veggie wad
Duplex load of 6gr N110 with 50gr IMR4198, 100yds, Pictures 1-5 taken after each shot, it's interesting for me that shots 1 and 2 were the same hole, 3 and 4 were the same hole, and 5 went back into shots 1 and 2
