Mind you I haven’t found a source for Blackhorn 209 and in the event I have to order online I’m in hopes that I can get primers and powder on the same shipping and hazmat fee.
That being said when I source and obtain those resources I have two goals in mind .
I currently have the rifle set up with the tracker sights woodman offers on their site. I currently have a number of the 225 grain with the blue sabot that woodman offers for the 1:24 twist 45 caliber rifle I purchased from them.
This will be my baseline for load development.
My secondary goal would be to develop a much lighter load that could be used for smaller critters and plinking here on the farm.
Say a 50-60grn by volume load of black horn with a 100-115 grain projectile that out to 45 yards is still on as far as my sights go set up for my primary load.
Is this even an obtainable goal or am I just thinking to far outside the box.
The versatility this would potentially offer would be something special and give a good load to train with for rapid target acquisition.
While not burning up unnecessary powder and maybe training my self to not necessarily fear recoil so much. In the hopes that having a training load gets me out in the woods more often putting more lead on target.
This is all hypothetical of course but in my mind seams to make sence.
