Testing out some Olde Eynsford 2fg charges today at 100 yards. Im pretty happy!
The first 3 shots was using 12 o clock aim due to the sun being out and my eyes watering badly ( sensitive to sun light) I just left a sliver of orange when shooting. The next 3 shots in the bulls were were at 6 o clock hold once the clouds came out to cover the sun. Huge relief!!
90gr 2fg OE
.020" patches ( no swabbing )
.490" round balls ( 50/50 mix )
This was using my Traditions St.Louis Hawken with a 1:48 twist. I think its a pretty damn good group for such a heavy load of powder. This load shoots aprox 12 FPS faster than 100gr 2fg Goex. The bulls eye is 3" diameter for size reference.
