To give you an idea of the Black Diamond XR and what it can do, I was playing with loads yesterday. I was shooting 110 grains of Swiss 3f Black Powder and a 375 grain pure lead Buffalo Bullet SSB off the bench rest. Needless to say, I think that load has all the power anyone would need to shoot anything in North America. It really snorted.

I then tried some of the 240 grain T/C Mag Express XTP's with 110 grains of Triple Se7en FFg. I usually shoot them with 100 grains of Goex 2f. I was surprised at how much higher they hit on the target then with the Goex 2f. Also I think the strong wind gust were playing tricks on them more then I thought.

So we loaded some of the 375 grain SSB with 110 grains of Triple Se7en FFg. I know for a fact that this is an elk load. A poster last year showed me proof postitive of them being an elk load out of his Black Diamond XR. I was impressed with the accuracy. Also it should be noted that the Black Diamond XR I shoot has a inexpensive 1.5-4.5 x32mm Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn Scope on it with simple weaver mounts. An animal out at 100 yards is going to be for a rather bad day should they cross my path. Although the wind was real strong and gusting. That was one reason I wanted to shoot in it.

I then broke out a flintlock and was shooting roundball at that distance with open sights. Now that was real fun...
