Well we backed it off to the 50 yard line. I wanted to test the scope of course, but how the bullets would react with new powders as well. So I loaded 100 grains of Triple Se7en 3f and a 300 grain Hornady (non magnum) XTP. This is quite the load. It really rang the steel bullet trap. The accuracy was pretty good as well. Those are the blue dots. I was swabbing everythird shot.

I then loaded 85 grains of Pyrodex RS and some 250 grain Hornady XTP's. I was using the crushed rib sabots. I also swabbed every third shot using straight alcohol as the cleaner and then two dry patches. They are marked yellow there in the center of the big bulls eye.

I also wanted to try the new wads I got in. They are Circle Fly 1/8th inch fiber over the powder wads in .510 diameter. They fit really nice. I was loading 75 grains of Triple Se7en 2f and a .503 460 gr Bull Shop conical. The first two hit low. I was kind of surprised. So I aimed for just over the top of the bull and shot the next three which were much better. I did not adjust the scope as I have not decided what load I will be shooting this season with this scope yet.

Then in the top right bull, I shot one shot with a wad ... again, aiming over the bull and hitting center. The next one I did not use a wad. It hit to the right. Whether it was me or the wad that caused that I could not say. I want to do some more testing. I would have shot more but company showed up at the house....
