Hey guys, I haven't been on here much until today since last fall. I feel like a newbie starting all over again. I'm almost ashamed to admit I haven't fired a round since 2 weeks after Thanksgiving "08". Lots of things have been going on in my wifes and my lives. I had successful back surgery this spring but was laid up a while. My wifes father has cancer and is not doing very well plus we just put her mother in a nursing home. Its been a exstreamly difficult fall. Illinois deer season starts in about two weeks so my deer hunting this year may be put on hold due to my father in laws condition. I did however get out to shoot today. The first picture is with my CVA Wolf, Barnes 300gr Expander MZ, Crushed Rib sabot, 2 Pyrodex pellets, W209 primers at 100 yards. The second picture is with the same except I used a 300gr Gold Dot. With the Barnes the top group was shots 1,3,and 5. The bottom was 2,4,and 6. Top group was shot cleaning with a alcohol patch both sides and a dry patch. Bottom group was no cleaning just reload and shoot. Both shot pretty well however there was a couple of inches difference. With the Gold Dots the same thing happened only the shots taken not cleaning between shots where all over the place. The Gold Dot shot really well swabing between shots. "If" I get to go out this year and hunt I will be using my tried and true Barnes Expanders but the Gold Dot will be considered after more testing later.....maybe I'll get tired of spending so much on Barnes??........Nah. Anyhow, heres the pictures. If I don't get back on here everyone have a safe and successful deer season.
