Thank's all for the nice comments................now here comes more. On those days i was shooting the Accura, i was also shooting the X7 with the peep sight. However, i tried one of them apertures that can be dialed different sizes, and dialed it about as small as i could stand. This helps 'sharpen' the front sight for my old eye.

The load is almost the same, but with a change in the sabot to the green crush rib. Winchester 209 primer, 300g .430 xtp, and 105g BH209. Velocity is some less too. Here is the target:






I managed to rip the paper ajacent to a bullet hole when i pulled it off the backer, but the hole is still evident. I didn't bother to shoot this rifle at 200yd, because i could barely sight the target at 98yd with the iron sights. As before it took about a week to shoot the target taking 1 shot per day with blizzard problems in between.


Now here is the ballistic calculation for this rifle:






So, i guess if i could see good enough, i could shoot a critter quite a long ways away without hold over. Ethics will need to step in here. One thing i will change for hunting is to replace the adjustable peep insert with the factory supplied insert. Now on to other bullets...........no, perhaps on to CHORES.
