The ballistic bridge sub base seemed to work kinda good in a rifle with the QLA last week. This led to trying it again yesterday morning. The rifle used was an Omega Dream Season with a 1X scope mounted; utilizing Bestill' breech plug. The Rifle has a QLA which has been detrimental for shooting conical, or smooth sized bullets. The first shot utilized a 54 caliber wool wad, and it hit a way low, and off to the right. Range is 77 yard. Just one shot is all the wool wad got.
The next three shots used 95g Blackhorn, ballistic bridge sub base, 50 cal 275g Fury Star Tip Mz smooth sized, Federal 209A primer.
This morning an Omega X7 with a 4X scope; utilizing Bestill' breech plug was brought. This rifle has that dang old QLA too. Was able to stretch the target out to 88 yard, before the terrain stopped further location. This morning, the load in the X7 was 95g Blackhorn powder, the ballistic bridge sub base, 50 cal 275g Fury Star Tip Mz smooth sized, 209A primer. First three shots at bottom target. The scope was adjusted, and then the last three shots taken at the top target.
So far, the ballistic bridge sub base seems to cure the QLA ills.
