I headed to the range early this morning to beat the heat. I had all my stuff ready and packed up, or so I thought. got the range. started going thru my range box. could not find the bullets I was planning on shooting. home cast lee 501-454 out of my silver eagle side lock. (either a traditions made or cva bobcat).
found where I had some xpts, powerbelts, tc cheap shots, and prvi .401 180grs in my kit. so, sabot test out of a sidelock.
shot 60grs of t7 3f
cci #11 mags.
tasco bucksight (yes the one at wally world)
I did pack my 320gr lee reals packed the wrong size, had the 54cals.
I will post pics later.
prvi .401180grs in a harvester cr sabot showed promise, it was the odd ball powder with blackmag 3 85grs. had 4 shots one went really high off the target. 3shots about 2in at 50yrds. did better then the rest i tested.
next best was the tc cheap shots in supplied sabots. 4in 3shot group with 60grs of t73f.
rest where so so, i think the gun likes tight loading bullets. shooting lee reals like a champ. have not found a round ball patch lube combo it likes yet.
of course I took my mossberg 715t. found something out about it too. it will not shoot wolf target match ammo unless the barrel is hot.
I found the bullets I was going to shoot today. they where setting on my reloading table in the box I packed them in. :ss:
