well after the first range session and having problems trying to get the BH209 powder to light.I went out and purcahsed a new 209 breech plug .I will say the gun shot excellent no mis-fires and the breech plug adjustment did keep the action spotless clean no blowby.

Excellent group for the first time out! I seriously would bump the charge up to 100gr BH209. My optima loved the 240gr xtp.

Man I have a bad cold otherwise I would of went to the 100 yard target :I think 2" high at 50 yards should be good out to 100 yards dead on ????
