-for me at least. I shot some last weekend w/open sights trying to get ready for elk season. I don't consider myself the best marksman so this was about as good as I think I could do. I've shot these size groups w/scopes before but never open sights before. Measures 1 1/8 CTC
100 Yards
700ML Open Sights
80g 777 2f
.504 460gBullshop
Veggie Wad
Kleanbore Primer
I'm really takin' to this conical shootin'

That is a very impressive group you have there. And with that load, an elk might not want to get too close to you. Great bullet, excellent powder. Put that conical in the right place and you better have a skinning knife.. Very nice shooting!!!

Ya`slinging a nice big chunk of lead right in there Hag. Hope you get a chance to put one of those 460's on a elk.

Things I've Learned: (1) It's not possible to please everyone, but quite easy to piss everyone off. (2) If you love animals as I do, then you're not a vegetarian. (3) There's no need to act stupid, even if you're very good at it. (4) If you eat right and exercise, don't smoke or drink, you're going to die anyway.
Up a little and a little right. Great shooting! Those Bull Shops aren't all bad, are they?
She's on now At that point I was just shooting trying to get used to the sight picture-that's a long ways w/open sights... I can't wait to see what they do on elk. Lord willin' I'll have a field report when I get back.

Nice group, I would be hard pressed to even see that target at 100 yds. I'd be aiming for center of paper. I prefer shooting at 3" black dot (fiber optics) or 3" orange dot (std iron sights).
Wish I had an elk tag////[:@]
