In this week-end's range session I decided to give the scoped .45 GM LRH barrel on the Renegade a workout with some 10mm/40cal180 grain Hornady XTP's in Harvester crush rib sabots.

I shot five5-shot groups at 50 yardswith 65, 75, 85, 95 and 105 grains of Pyrodex RS, and two 100 yard 5-shot groups with 65 and 105 grains. All targets below.

I did not adjust the scope at any time during the session.


65 grains / 50 yards



75 grains / 50 yards



85 grains / 50 yards


95 grains / 50 yards



The cap "pop" on the third shot of the next target was very weak, and gave me a noticeable hang fire.
I wonder if it would have been right in there with the others if I hadn't lifted my head.

105 grains / 50 yards (OH YEAH!)



65 grains / 100 yards

I was a little surprised at how much the 100 yard groups opened up.
Pretty sure it wasn't aiming error, but I guess it could have been.




105 grains / 100 yards

The last shot on thistarget (upper right corner) hit the wooden clothes pin I used to hang the target on the backer board.
