My one try with GOEX in the Mustang a few weeks ago indicated real potential. But I only had five of the 300 grain Gold Dots for that initial test. Four of the five shots in that group were touching. So, I got some more GDs to try.

In my Saturday shooting session, I loaded up the Mustang with 120 grains FFFg, put some Gold Dots in crush rib sabots, and shot at the 100 yard target. Got a DARN NICE GROUP. This is about as good as it gets with the Mustang. Inever see those famous "one hole" groups with it (maybe my shooting) - but I think this will do.



I was so happy with that I decided to shoot another group. Oh well, sometimes `ya can - and sometimes `ya can't. [:-] I'm sure this wasn't the gun's fault.





Well, I had the chronograph out Sunday morning to clock a load with the Renegade, so I figured I may as see what this load was doing in the Mustang.

Got a five-shot average of 1641 fps. That's hauling pretty good for a 300 grain bullet with black powder. I wonder what 150 grains GOEX would do. One hundred grains of T7 gives me about 1825 fps with this bullet.

Not a great group with this target, but in keeping with the principle that you ought to show the bad as well as the good - here it is.




Shot another group with 120 grains and got about the same velocity and a little better group - but nothing like the first one. I don't know what I'm doing to get that lateral dispersion, but I'm sure it's my fault. Next time out, I'm gonna try 150 grains.



Hey guys - need a little feed back here. I know some of my posts get a little long and wordy. Do I need to keep them shorter?
