Week before last I did a little shooting with Old Eynsford 2F for the first time and like I stated before I was pretty impressed with it. I didn't have the time I needed to do a comparison test I wanted to do between the 2 powders but this past Saturday I did.
I used the same charge, 70 grains for both, the same .570 Hornady ball, .018 patches with my friend Jonathan's anti-rust and lube and CCI caps.
Temp in the low 70's, bright blue sky and no wind. The 7 shots were from the 50 yard benches. No swabbing the barrel at all and no loading problems.
First shot was at 1 o'clock in the 10 ring on the target on the right. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th shots were right under the bull. The 5th, 6th and 7th shots were in the 10 ring in the target on the left. Don't know the reason why there is a horizontal and a vertical group. Maybe the powders react differently with a clean cold rifle or maybe it was just me. :wink:
Ray...................The target on the left is Goex and OE on the right. IMHO, they are pretty close but after today and last weeks group, I'm going with OE when my Goex runs out. :yeah:
