Pretty much the same deal as most eveyone here. I have only trieda dozen different bullets and or wts. to work up my loads. 80-120 grains have been the range but usually never over 110 grs. Best current load, 110 grains w/ either a 245 or 250 gr hornady XTP, SST or powerbelt.
When I'm shooting good w/ a 3-9 or my 2.5-8 power scopesI can touch bullets w/ both Omega's @ 100 meters. Shooting soft ball groups isn't acceptable on top of a front bench rest @ a the range. I then work harder to find the right combo. I tend to shoot better after the first 10 shots on targets.
I have learned after taking deer while hunting to take the first killing shot and I never mess around. When I shoulder the rifle I am pulling the trigger w/in a second. Longest kill is 130 yrds w/a BPinline rifle against the trunk and have shot many off hand 40-50 yrds on one knee oragainst alog small tree, etc. I haven't shot iron sights in yrs not even w/ the Hawken. I used a 2x even then. I do plan to try that new modified open peep one of the guys mentioned here or try the tape w/ a hole on my glasses, so I don't have a real load anymore. I used to shoot 1: 48 twist, 50 grs of BP @ 75 yrds w/ fist sized groups. I doubt I can do that now.
When I get the new used LH HawkenI will try again... since it is a slow twist.
