Got the Apex this morning. Spent some time cleaning it up and making sure everything was A-ok and it was.
I couldnt use my bushnell banner 3-9x40 because the mounts i had were to low

I ended up using the cheap simmins 3-9x32 and sighted it in.
I started off with 70 grains Pyrodex Select and a 285g hornady great plains conical. They load really easy which worried me. Now makes me wish i would have bought a pack of 275g powerbelts yesterday. DOH!
I am letting the barrel cool between shots and so far its been shooting great. Put up a new target now, Took one shot and perfect @ 6 o'clock hold up just a little to the right. I am going to load up another shot, let the barrel cool and then take one more and call it a day.
