I got out to the range today.A must do today as the weather here is going to get real nasty.Snow,sleet,freezing rain,and winds up to 60 mph.Today it was almost 60 deg.The 250gr Noslers shot well but left me with a few questions.I got a better group at 100 yds with 90gr 777/2f,than I got at 75 yds with 100gr BM-3.Swabbed between all shots and let barrel cool after 3. Nothing really spectacular,1.5" at 100 and just over 2.5" at 75.Both were 5 shot groups.One thing I did notice was the BM-3 seemed to blow by the sabot and leave residue up the petals,where the 777 did not. Any one have any theories or ideas?

some powders just shoot different projectiles better then others.I have discovered the same thing shooting Pinnacle with some of the different projectiles. The heavy projectiles do not shoot well for ME with Pinnacle. When there are over 300 grains, I use Goex or Pyrodex.
