Took th omega X7 out today. Was shooting BH209250 SSTs , 250XTPs & 180 grain .40 cal gold dots. I learned something today. My barrel heats up After 2 shots. It took me6 groups of 3 to figure that out[:@]. Iwas shooting charges from 80 to 100 grains with the XTPs & the SSTs. Both in crush rib sabots. Every group Id shoot 2within an inch, a couple touchingThe 3rd would fly off to the left 2-3-4 inches. At first I thought it was me. While reloading I noticed the barrel was pretty warm. So I let it sit for a few minutes, & shot a few groups with my 22 hornet. Next 3 shots Xtps 100 grains BH209with a few minutes in betweenwere right at an inch & a half.
next 3 SSTs with a few minutes between fell rightat 2 inches. Next up
The 40 cal 180 grain gold dots in the blue MMP sabots over 70 grain BH209
First shot Missed the target completly. So That took me a few minutes to figure out where I was hitting. Iwas hitting way High. used the bottem of the target To aim. Next 3 over 70 grainsBH209 12 inches high in a inch &a half group.
