went out this morning. about 10 am I was getting ready to walk out of the works. walked up a 45 degree 100 ft ridge, jumped 2 does, one gave me a great broad side, could not take it, I was breathing too hard from the cliem and the 1 to 2 mile hike I just did (need to quite smoking). Left the woods went to the range, finish working on the .430 240 xtp with 100 gr load did not take any 100 yrd shots though. my scope was off about 5 inchs low. resited it, about 1/2 in to the left. started a little test I was going to do after hunting season was over.
base line:
current load: 240 xpt .430 with 85 grs of pyrodex p at 50 yards
shot: 45 250 xtp, 250 gold don't and a 250 shockwave (3 each)
all 3 bullets is a 3 in group almost touching, with one flier (250 xtp)
went on and did a 100 yrds with the 250 shockwave, 1 flier low the other 2 touching.
does my usak like the 85 grs pyrodex p?
which bullet to use now?
