Nothing spectacular to report, but at the farm I can only get a 60 yard range - and you know with the White that does not even seem challenging anymore.

But, just for the heck of it, I thought I would shoot a group of Noslers at the paper - expensive but what the heck. So any way I shot some Nosler Partitions - 260 grain .451's in Nosler Sabots (HPH-12) on top of 110 grains of T7-2f. I was a very successful shooting @ 60 yards - four of the 5 bullets were touching - the fifth was @ 2:00 about a half inch from the group. Well, that was expensive enough experiment, but it was fun- so I went back to shooting XTP's, finished up a jug of T7 - so I loaded up and went back to town.

The Ultra Mag continues to be an awesome gun and truly fun to shoot... I am thinking I really need to go shoot the Omega sometime also, but the White always seem to get in the pick up first.

UC - if you pick up on this - the new 209 nipple that Doc sent me works great... no blown out primers, no sticking in the nipple, no crud-ring, NO BLOWBACK from the barrel - small amount of sootfrom the the primer, but that is it. I shot 35 shots this afternoon and never had to clean a thing, the nose of the hammer was dirty but the body is clean. Thank you and Cayugad for the steering lesson.
