The weather man was right on the money with todays forecast. 67* with bright sunny skies and no wind at all. I thought the range was going to be jammed but it wasn't for the first 2 hours that I was there.
I hung my target and waited until the range opened. It felt great just being outside without rain or freezing cold temps..........
Anyway, I got these bullets from Carlos and after shooting my Parker B/E 275 GR'ERS or the PT GOLD 260 GR'ERS I had my doubts about these Hornady's. They came with red sabots. I don't know who made them so I brought my Harvester crushed and E-Load smooth sabots just in case.
I didn't swab the barrel. I did clean the B/P once. My MR is zeroed in with B/E's and PT GOLD 260 GR'ERS. Didn't make any scope adjustments.
The upper left I used the Harvester crushed. The lower left I used the Harvester E-Z Load smooth. The target on the right I used the red ones that came in the box. These bullets are .452 in size. They were just a little harder going down the barrel then the Harvesteres
I did not adjust my scope at all. I shot these bullets right out of the box at 50 yards like I have been shooting the others. (The muzzleloader area, "THE WILDERNESS AREA" is still a lake. Maybe it will be open next weekend).
Hope this answers anyone questions who were wondering how they would shoot. I would use these guys if Parker and PT Golds were no longer available. They impressed the hell out of me :cheers:
