one week til ml season opens and need to work up a new load
Less then a week til ML opens west of the blue ridge (va). I got one session too work up a new load for my ML. Every gun shop and walmart are out of the bullets I first worked up (walmart is out of every bullet they carried but t/c maxi hunter). I got some t/c surefires w/ 230 gr ? bullet. I have a 1/4 of a pound of powder and 20 tubes (yes most are tubes that had glitter in them).
My gun:
usak
what I have:
5 240 xtp w/mag express
8 245 gr powerbelts
30+ 230gr w/surefire sabots
1 bag minus 5 sabots of black mmp
1 bag of green mmp
1: do I have enough pyrodex p to do 20 loads and at least 3 to 6 loads for hunting?
2: I have been firing the 240 gr xtps with 85 gr of pyrodex p, and the 245 gr powerbelts group the same but high right with the same. and did I little work with the 230 gr/ surefire with the same amount of pyrodex p I was hitting center but to the left with about 3in group at 50 yrd. Should I use 85 grs of pyrodex p as my starting point? (I did find the problems from last weeks session)
I hate this having problems the week before opening day.
