Default 4 shot test

I wanted to do a test today so here is what i came up with the most shots i ever got in the woods was three then you load the gun back up
so you might as well say four.So i did two test one with pyro.rs loose
and jim shocky's gold pellet form, both 100 grain loads.Dry patched the barrel one time when i started each of the two sessions nothing in
between but cleaning after four shots.The scope i have on the gun
is set 3 inches high at 100 yardsthese shots were at 50 yards so i just
adjusted the scope down with a guess,seeing is was not about sighting in.
(i have a new scope in the mail so not worried about it)the gun was t/c encore pro hunter ,win.209,hornaday xtp 240 grain 44cal. green sabot

This next pic is of the crud-ring it left in the barrel,gun was reallydirty,but expected that, just not that kinda group

The next pic was JSG the load was pretty tight in the gun to start with,but they sure went down with JSGalot better than the pyro. after the first shot, of course i never swabbed or patched in between remember
I did adjust the scope up(just guessing and got lucky)on the next round.

the second shot was my fault,i have used this powder before but only in pellets,i didn't like thembecouse sometimes you had to use a ramrod to get it down,not very safe or fast,some pellets were bigger than others.
by the looks of this board i'm gonna have to get some more for testing
i found it in powder the other day, should have got it i guess.But these
were the last of what i had.I did pick up some birchwood casey gun scrubber the other day,dont know if i like it better than breakfree yet.
JSG was about 2/3rds faster on cleanup.Really cleaned up easy.I might try
goex tomorrow if anyone is interested.

That JSG looks like it has some promise to it. Nice group there.
