I had planned to shoot both the Deerstalker with the 21" barrel and the GPR but holy cow it was hot out!!! So I did manage to shoot the 21' GM flinter loaded with 80 gr 3f Goex and a 340 gr PR Dead Center. I took my first 2 shots at 13 yds to confirm sights. They were bang on so I moved the target out to 50 yds. Now things got messy. I was shooting 3-8 inchesleft and a group about 10 inches. Not pretty. I was using shooting sticks but I think I'll try using sandbags next outing to see if I can't tighten things up a LOT! The little rifle bucked quite a bit so I think I'll lower the charge down to 70 gr as well.

Maybe tomorrow for the GPR.

Oh almost forgot! I had a slight faux pass. [:@]

And they really don't fly worth a hoot without powder behind them. lol [:@]

I can get decent accuracy with them out of my Omega

I think your problem is that bullet is all screwed up.
