Default 150gr Super Stick day

Okay, the second shot got me a LITTLE on the nose. No marks or swelling, just felt like a little kiss from the edge of the scope. My outside dog tore up my shooting bags, Right now hes on death row. I had to make due with an old soil bag and some sand thrown into it. Wasnt as heavy as i wanted it but it worked.

First off the right was sighted dead on @ 100 yards with the 300gt xtp mag with the 100gr super stick. I loaded up the 150gr super stick and after 1 shot not on paper and the second BARELY being on paper, i reloaded, adjusted scope down 6 clicks. After waiting 5 minutes in between shots, the 150gr super sticks and 300gr xtp mag combo, my last shots would have measured 1/2" center/center had i had adjusted the scope.

It was shooting a foot high with the 150gr Super Sticks

I got to ****y on my second shot, thats when it kicked back due to me not holding it tight into my shoulder, the last shot felt great just like the first.

But its good to see that the Accura loves a magnum change and will shoot tight.

Im uploading the video now and will add it as soon as its finished.

Well I am sure glad your shooting magnum loads and taping it to boot...

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Those seem to ignite well and be plenty potent.
It's certainly more fun to watch someone else be on the receiving end of those loads.
Thanks for sharing the video clips.

Actually there is no pain unless the scope hits you LOL. I didnt get a chance to shoot. Having issues again with muscles balling up in my back and causing my right arm to go numb. Pretty solid mass right now about 5" long and 1 1/2" wide following along my right shoulder blade and going part ways under it.

I've found full power loads to shoot plenty accurate with 300gr+ bullets. It's with the 250gr and lighter bullets I can't get it to work... Perhaps it's the velocity that's important not the charge??

Nice video. Would have been better if you would have lit off the canon in the back ground.
