First day shooting my Patriot yesterday.
Amazing quality in the build of that gun.
Was shooting Fury 225 star tipped in it today. Using Imr 4198 (gave up finding H4198), & N120. 56 to 57 grains. Gonna go to 58 grains today.
Lots of comments on here about the light Patriot having excessive recoil. I did not see that at all! To me it was pleasant to shoot.
Also shot some Barnes 195's. with 33 grains of N110 First with Barnes' sabot, then the Harvester Light Blue Crush Rib. Loading was harder with the Barnes sabot. Accuracy was better with the Harvester. Gonna move upward in grains today. No recoil to speak of with these bullets!!
Also gonna shoot some Fury 250 Star Tipped today.
Best 2 groups were just under 1.5' @ 100 yds. I'm sure I can do better.
