Wal Mart had the E-Z glide Shockwaves in stock and the 300 grain Hornady XTPs. I would drop the load to 100 grains and start from there. Then work the load up in 10 grain amounts until you get the best group. You might also want to pick up a pound of Pyrodex RS or Triple Se7en 2f and learn to swab if the Jim Shockey gold is not accurate.

Never concern yourself with asking questions. There is no such thing as a dumb question. You'd look more ignorant if what you did caused injury to you or someone else. Besides, we love to answer questions.

Good luck this season.
