working up a shockwave load for my usak

[corey012778]

I went to the range last sat. and played around with 3 deffrent rounds. the only round I shot at 100 yrds where 250 gr shockwave. I was putting them under 85 grs of pyrodex p out my knight usak. placed them 3 1/4 inchs to the left of the bulls with one flier 1 inch below two I got to touch.

should I up the charge on them?

The usual procedure is to increase the charge in 5 or 10 grain increments until accuracy starts to fall off. You've got a good load there. Nice shooting.

I was testing 85grs of pyrodex p with other bullet then .430 240 gr xtp load I am hunting with now. I got a 2 week break come up between the end of center fire and and late muzzleloader. thinking of jumping the load to 90 maybe 95 grs of pyrodex p. I get to shoot 2 shockwave will working on my current load with 90 grs. the guy next to me said I put 2 in the same hole at 50 yrds.

It looks like the Shockwaves are shooting good for you. No telling what the flier was from. So I would do some more testing with that, and then stick with the best load and accuracy. I think you have a very good start there.

I farted at the time. just kidding

it was a surprise to me, all three bullets (45 250 gr xtp, 250 gold dot and that shockwave) that I test did well at 85gr pyrodex p at 50 yrds, they all hit in the area as the .430 240 gr xtp I am using. But i love how the shock wave loaded and having a another bullet to fall back on. I need some distance now that my 30-06 needs some work done to it.
