I picked up a T/C Bone Collector 50cal with Leupold 4-9x40 scope combo. After putting 20rd 320gn T/C Maxi Ball down range to “season” the barrel (yes, some do and some don’t but no harm in doing it) I worked at sighting in at 100yd with T/C 250gn SuperGlide Sabots over 2x50gn Triple 7 pellets.
I had to clean between shots, which surprised me - I could not ram completely without cleaning. Very dirty compared to Alliant Black MZ powder!
And I would get 2 shots within 1 MOA and a third 3-4 inches out, cleaning between shots (2 wet patches, 1 dry patch). It’s wasn’t always the 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a string of 3 shots that was the flier so not a heating issue. I’m on a very heavy LeadSled but maybe it was me - I felt no difference between good shots and fliers.
But it’s gotta be me. Any suggestions? Maybe different ramming pressures?
The T/C Bone Collector is not a stiff stock - supported under the for-end and butt by the sled, very slight pressure flexed the stock. It’s those inserts that tame recoil, I guess. So I had to just barely hold it to align cant and put crosshairs on the bullseye. The gun jumped each shot so maybe that’s the issue?
