Default 2nd R. Report - ThunderHawk SCOPED

I kept all loads the same as with the open sights
#11 CCI mag caps & 85gr 2fg 777 powder started out @ 25yds just to get scope on paper 2 shots and I was there so I replaced the target and moved it out to 100yds . and with the scope I was useing a 2.5" Shoot-N-See target Spot and this is it.

100yds - 350gr Tc Maxi-Hunters / .510 card wad / 85gr 777
1st shot hit high adjusted scope then shot #2 adjusted scope then Shot 3-5 . Swabbed between shots and gave barrle 5min. to cool down.

So I decided to try the Hornady 385gr Great Plains same loads
100yds - 85gr 777 NO WADS & no scope adjusting . by this time it is starting to get pritty late and shot #4 was shot at 9:20pm I could barly see target by this time but still not bad.

Been in the high 90s so I been waiting to shoot late .

Tonight I have 2-300gr Sabertooth & 1 295gr Powerbelt AT to try but I think I will try some .430 300gr XTPs with a Harvester Crush Rib Sabots to.
I will keep the loads the same on these also, 85gr 777 & #11 CCI mag caps
I'll try them @ 100yds also.
