OT but shoot'n

Wanted to take the muzz, but ended up taking a .450 Game Breaker rifle instead. I'd much rather shoot the muzz, but I promised I shoot this rife at long range.

Excessive mirage today but, stapled up a target at 300 yards and sent 5 rounds. This .450 is almost as accurate as my muzzleloader at 300.

The factory loaded Hornady 250gr FTX. I had a nice 3 shot group there and should have left well enough alone.

Well you are one of the rare few that can get the FTX bullets to shoot well. I tried them in my .45-70 and I may as well had been throwing rocks at the target. They were horrible.

Its in the custom barrel, which was specifically designed to shoot the round.
