Default RE: The Delayed "Burning P" Report

Semi - Are those first 2 bullets touching? The ones that almost missed the paper?
Not hardly. The first one is at the bottom right hand side of the paper. The second shot is at the very top right hand corner.

I kinda doubt it's a scope problem, but possible I guess. I looked through my target file for a couple of good 50 yard groups, and was surprised to see that last OctoberI had shot some 180 grain XTPs over a stiff load of 105 grains Pyrodex RS. I just didn't remember doing that. Here's that target.



And I also had a pretty decent 50 yard target with the 200 grain XTPs over a light 65 grain load of RS.



I just noticed I was using crush rib sabots for those targets. I suspectthere's a 100 yard sweet loadI've yet to find. Have any of you guys ever shot deer with the 180 grain XTPs?
