Default Swiss 3FFF Range Report

First time to ever shoot real black

Cva Optima
Nikon Omega 1.65-5x36 BDC 250
110gr Swiss 3FFF
Win 209 Primer
Hornady 240XTP 44 Cal .430
Harvester 50 Cal Crushed Rib Sabot for .429-.430 Cal Green
Swabbed with GOJO
That is a two inch Bull sticker by the way
110 Yard 5 shot group

Tried to reload without swabbing not going to happen in this gun..
Clean up is a breeze, real soft fouling

Plenty of smoke and thats what I like

That bullet has a pretty good BC (205) for a pistol bullet. i can see they would be accurate.

That is some real good shooting there. That Swiss is a good powder and clean up is not the nightmare many people make black powder out to be. That load should flatten a hog. Especially with that kind of accuracy.

I hate to admit this.. but when I shoot real black powder and that white cloud of smoke surrounds me, it just makes me smile. I like shooting black powder, and so far that Schuetzen is working out real well. I think you will like it a lot.
