Took my TC Black Diamond to the range today. Several months ago i bedded the action and put a Zeiss 4X32 scope on the gun. Sighted in the gun and it shot well. The gun was cleaned, loaded and put away.
Today i wanted to shoot at 50 yards but the target frame had been destroyed. So i put the target on the frame at 75 yards. The first round went way low: Not even sure what the powder charge was. Reloaded and fired three times without swabbing. Two bullets went through the big hole.
Rifle: TC Black Diamond
Scope: Zeiss Conquest 4X32
Powder: 110 grains of 2F JSG
Sabot: Harvester smooth
Bullet: Hornady 240 grain .430 XTP

This can of JSG was opened in about 2008. When it was opened i put a 1.5" square dessicant in the can. i'm going to deer hunt next month using that gun with that load.
