perfect day for my pet load
It was 50 degrees today and time for some shooting!! I had a few XTP's lying around so I headed outside. The range was in disorder--the chair was frozen to the ground anda tree was down in the flight path soI had to move everything.
I've never been happier. I shot the Omega with 300 gr. XTPs, 110 gr Pyrodex, and Triple 7's for primers. I only had 5sabots so I shot 2 at 50 yds and 3 at 100.
At 50 yards I shot twice off the table and shot one bullet hole into the other. That was about a 1/8 inch group. Gotta be happy with that.
100 went just as well. I shot all three without swabbing. They all hit just left of center. It was a 3 inch group. That was confidence boosting.
I'm definetely getting that gun down. It was one great day!!!! I used a paper plate with a black circle in the middle for a target. It worked awesome. I think I'll stop buying targets now and just use them. They are super easy to see at long distances, which makes using open sights manageable.
If you'd like pics of the targets I'll oblige again. Good shooting to all!!!!
