Default RE: sighting in????

The day has passed & no report on howSaskBushMan did today at the range. Using 80 grains with a 240 gr sabot is a good starting point for his Traditions Pursuit.

Myself, I went back to the range for Round 2 with Schuetzen blackpowder. Had a fabulous day target-wise -- then when I loaded the last shot of the day, I had wet powder& the Omegawouldn't fire. I tried 2 Kleanbores and 2 Federal 209A's. Swabbed just prior to this-- the same way/routine I always used the last 1000 times. It was a humid day with a little drizzle coming down - but I had the range roof above my stall & only a couple spots of water was on the barrel.

I've shot at the samerange on heavier rainy daysusing 777 & always had instantaneous ignition. This one puzzles me! I'm not sure if the shooter was in error -- or this Schuetzen likes to suck-in water.

Looks like I'm headed for Schuetzen Powder Round 3. But I will wait for another humid wet day to test it again.
