Thanks to all who so freely share their knowledge.
Went out to a friends farm today and did a little shooting, as I would in hunting situations, with accessories learned from advice here.
With my Kodiak 209 and
Ron Laughlin breech plug +
STS primers
95gr. of Blackhorn
.250gr (.425) Gold Dot
MMP HPH24 black sabots
at 100 yards, shot a 4", 5 shot group, kneeling in the snow off shooting sticks (2), sitting on a 5 gallon bucket w/the sticks(1), off hand(1), and standing, shoulder against a tree (1). 27°F, 10mph wind from the west.
Very pleased.
Happy New Year to all.
At the range i finish off the day without any bags or sled. I support the gun and by then im also a bit fatigued from the recoil and/or weather conditions, hunger, thirst ect.
POI is sometimes a quite bit different, especially compared to off the sled with weight added.

It sounds like your all set. Nice off hand shooting there.

No target, he said he shot a 4 inch 5 shot group at 100yds sitting on a bucket.

Should have posted a picture, and apologize if my post sounded like bragging. That was not my intent. When I first posted here last year, I was having trouble getting this particular rifle to group from a bench and a solid rest, let alone hit a target under field conditions. Thanks to many here who have experience with different primers, powder, bullets and sabots, and sharing their well seasoned advice, I was finally able to get this rifle to shoot. I was so elated, just wanted to thank you all. As for my shooting, it's nothing special, you all have done the same, and many, much better.
Best Regards.
What a great site.
