Default Took new Endeavor to the range

Well finally got out to shoot my new toy. Thanks to Nimmrodder and Batchief's help I have found my guns sweet load. All are at 50yds. But I got better groups with 110gr. BH209 , a Harvester SB Sabot and a Hornady 250gr. SST

That is six shots in a 1" group (2" high dead center). pretty good shooting if I say so myself. The seventh took it to a 1 1/2" group (Did not swab like a should have)

First 3 I shot was Left and not touching but respectable shots that was with 95gr. next I went to 110gr and adjusted scope for windage my holes started touching( dead center 2" high). went to 115gr. (bottom right) opened back up again. Lastly I tried 105gr. (Lower left) a little more respectable but not as good as the second group.

Congradulations on your new ML. That's some very good shooting. The Encore was one of my favorites for sure.

nice shooting ..you can't go wrong with th HORNADY 250GR SST ...
so your best load is 110 gr. ..when u went up to 115 gr. the sabot let you down ..i have also noticed when u increase powder for more speed accuracy drops ..[sometimes]

INRecordBookBuck: Nice looking rifle and good shooting !T/C 's seem to really shine with those 250's.

You're going to need more room in your Sig area, as you add your MZ's
