Sunday at the range

tourangeaud · 10-20-2008, 07:32 AM

Needed to hit the range prior to the BP opener, schedule for Nov 1, here in VA. Missed quite a few deer at the end of last BP season. I had no idea why my set up had lost the accuracy from begining to the end of BP season 2007. 2007 season set up: TC Encore 50 cal, Nikon Omega BDC 3x9, vari flame primers, 100 grains pyrex, 240 grain extreme elite bullets.

Decided tochange tothe following for 2008 BP season: 150 grain of powder and a 260 grain bullet.
The session at the range consisted of the following shots. No cleaning or spit patches between shots. 5 consective shots

25 yards: In the black (high of center)
50 yards: In the black (high of center)
100 yards: In the black (right of center)
225 yards:Touching the black (high and right)
25 yards /open sites:In the black

After this session, I cleaned the encore and put it away for opening day. I'm pleased with the results of this set up.

I also bought the variflame primer adapters from this company. Uses a CCI 400 small rifle primer instead of a 209 primer.
