Default Homework Part 2

Deer Creek .45cal, 58 yards, 60 grains FFg Goex, 128 grain Buffalo .440 roundball, Crisco lubed .015 patch.

The shots that are all spread out were taken with 60 grains pyrodex Select and the same ball and patch. Not sure exactly what happened with those first 3 shots. The next 3 that are circled are the goex shots.

I went back out and took 3 more shots with 70 grains goex on the fouled barrel and it was horrible. my first shot nicked the bulls eye, next 2 shots measured 4".. I will start swabbing after 3 shots from now on. I want to see if i can improve on the 70 grain charge with a new patch.

I wouldn't be able to see that itty bitty sticker at 58 yds.

Nice little group there.
