Yesterday a dozen vials were loaded with 95g Blackhorn with hopes to have fun today. The 45 Omega with Bestill' breech plug was also loaded with 95g Blackhorn, and vegetable fiber wad, and 300g Fury Star Tip. This morning off we went to have the anticipated fun.
Not so fun. Wind blew bullets all over target at 200 yard. Was nervous one bullet might hit the target frame; damage it. Decided to replace the target with a laundry jug filled with water, and head out to 300 yard.
The jug is the little white thing kinda in the middle. Dialed the 2-7 scope up to 14¼ moa. Loaded the rifle with 95g Blackhorn, vegetable fiber wad, 300g Fury Star Tip, and a 209A primer, then tried to smuck the jug; missed a bit to the right, and a tad low. Visible in video. Of course the miss was due to the wind..................
Reloaded the rifle, held on the left edge, and a bit high, and made a second attempt ---------- that was fun.
