I decided to play with my Ultra Mag .504 today as well. It was 86 degrees and a slight breese. Rather nice actually. I set the bench at 50 yards and was using the fiber optic sights that came with the rifle.

I originally wanted to see how the 385 grain Buffalo Bullets would shoot out of the White. Well at 50 yards they shot OK. Not great and not bad. Nothing to get excited about. Just OK. They would be grouping well and then all of a sudden a flyer would hit and you'd be 6" out of the main group. I still have not figured that one out yet.

After getting disgusted with the Buffalo Bullets, I got out some of the 460 grain BullShop bullets casted in .504 for me. This batch does not fall down the barrel like the last batch. There is not really resistance mind you, but they are not as loose as the others were. I decided to try the same type of shooting Cascadedad did, with one shooting bag on the bench rest.



The target on the right you will note has a red X through one of the hits. That's because it was made by a 385 Buffalo Bullet. When I said flyers, I was not kidding... The others are not as good as Cascadedad's peep sight can accomplish, but for simple fiber optics, more then good enough for me to take a deer out of the running at that distance.

I shot 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f and on the other 70 grains of Goex 3f. On the Goex target I had a respectable group going, then had to push the issue and had a slight flier. Still not too bad, but I should have quit when I was ahead...

I am starting to think, Warne QD rings and a Thompson Center 1X 32mm scope (legal for our muzzleloading season) which could be switched back and fourth on the mounts with my Nikon Pro Staff 2-7x32mm. I just have been finding it harder and harder to focus with the open sights when I get any distance on it...
