Shot my optima V2 today with 777 loose, cci mag primer and 250gr Barnes TZ. My first shot was a clean bore and at 3 o’clock. 2nd shot is at bottom of bull and 3rd shot hit at noon. I figure it needed swabbed so I used a wet TC patch and then 4-5 dry ones. Next shot was at 7 o’clock and the next 2 touched center bull.
2nd picture I swabbed the same way and they wouldn’t even touch the paper, shooting high off the target. It began to lower itself and shot the 2 shot group on the right. I then switched to Blackhorn 209 on a clean barrel and it shot the center bull. Why is 777 loose so erratic? All charges were by volume and seated the same depth. Scope seems tight too.
