RE: Apex
Thats not true. i just went back and reread your original posts when you bought it and started shooting. All someone has to do to get the facts is type your SN into the search and go to page 5 or 6 and start reading from there.
Heres your memory refreshment.. 245 powerbelts "sabots you call them" and 100 grains pyrodex RS.
Well, I shot the Apex and am much more pleased with myself and the gun than last time. I thought thatI was shooting 50 yards but when I counted it off just now it was 60. So, I got the bullet to strike EXACTLY dead on and 1- 1 1/2 inches high at that range. I swabbed between each shot while sighting. The first was a bit too farleft.I adjusted the sights and the next was too high and too right. I adjusted again and it was right where I wanted it but a bit right still. After thenext adjustment I got it absolutely perfect. I decided it was right where I wanted it and decided to test the accuracy levels without swabbing. My next shot was right by the other. The following four shots were all slowly moving further and further out.
After sight adjustmentI ended up with a 3 inch group. Again, this was without swabbing and I didn't get another to go in the same spot as my best one but they all came close.
The conclusion is that this gun is capable of great accuracy without a doubt. At 60 yards a 3 inch group is not great but I am positive I could have had them all touching if I had swabbed. I didn't though(swab), soI could test the difference.
Swabbing is neccessary for the absolute best accuracy but not mandatory until after 6 shots or so. Hunters and people just practicing don't need to swab in my opinion. If you have time and a need for the utmost accuracy swabbing is extraordinarily helpful.
I should have the absolute hunting machine with this gun. I'm proud of my fine purchase. It does great in the snow as well because it was snowing hard when I was shooting. That is one reliable gun.
Catch ya later cause I'm going to a friends til later tonight. Ask any questions you want. Happy New Year once again.
