I have a couple rifles treated with the Montana X-treme bore conditioner right now. A White Bison, a CVA Staghorn Magnum, and a Remington Genesis. So I decided it looked half way nice outside compared to the last four days. Boy was I wrong!!!



The thermometer at the yard said eight degrees. It did not look all that windy but I was really wrong. I have no idea what the windchill was out there, but it was kind of brutal.

I had the CVA Staghorn Magnum. I took a dry patch and swabbed the bore before I started this mistake to shoot today. I did pop a primer through the bore. I then loaded 90 grains of Triple Seven 2f powder and a 350 gr Hornady FPB.

The shooting was done at 50 yards. The snowing was coming down and the wind howling. I shot the first shot and was happy with that. I had a patch I had misted with Windex so I swabbed the bore and did not run a dry patch. I then loaded and shot number #2. I swabbed again with the same patch which I admit was very dirty. I then loaded and shot #3.

I leaned the rifle against the shooting bench and walked up to look at the target. And when I was walking back, I saw the rifle slide sideways and disappear in the snow. So I realized I would have to go back to the house to check the rifle over and clean off the snow, and with the weather what it was, decided to call it a day.

Warmer weather is coming. And I can wait. This really was not much of a test for the bore conditioner or the new bullets. But all of them do show some promise. Clean up was easy. I put some Windex on a patch and swabbed the bore clean in three patches. Then some dry patches. And finally gave it another Montana X-treme bore treatment.
