Got out this morning to shoot again, wanted to shoot the Renegade after I finally got it cleaned....

The main goal for today was to get some chrono times from the shorter barrel Renegade.

I was shooting basically 460 No Excuse bullets but I did finish up with some 460 grain Bull Shops and maybe I found something interesting...

A damp patch after each shot when I was shooting No Excuse bullets did bring up flakes of lead - they were plenty and very visible.... The last 5 shots, 3 in the target and 2 @ orange birds were taken with 460 Bull Shops -again patching after each shot - those patches did not show the lead flakes at all... so I don't know. I am hoping to talk Cdad out of another box of .504 Bull Shops until Dan gets back on his feet and If I get more bullets - I will continue this experiment.

Again the main focus here was getting velocities without shooting the chronograph. I would like to think with fiber optic sights I could get better groups... The sights I have on this barrel are square and for me hard to keep aligned. If the front sight had a bead it would help - I think

Even tough the .504 Bull Shops are harder to load and I may not be able to load to many consecutive shots - I do think I am going to move to that bullet. The three shots withthem were strung out left to right, most of the No Excuses were stringing up and down, but@ 50 yards it doesn't take muchof a difference in sight picture to make a difference@ the target. And when I shot the birds on the rock wall - I got em and I busted them - sure wish I could see them break like in trap shooting...

Non-the-less all the shots of the day would have taken game and that is the name of the game...

It was another great day - not working... there are some benefits to retirement...
