I took a couple of rifles out today, but I wanted to shoot some of the No Excuses conical bullets I bought for it. I decided to start with 85 grains of Triple Seven 2f.



I shot two to see where they would hit. I was only 30 yards out. And the rifle had a 4x32mm Simmons Pro Diamond scope. Seeing it was a little low, I raised the POI in the scope and shot four more to check it. Not too bad.

So I then loaded only 80 grains of Triple Seven 2f. Now remember, I have not swabbed the barrel during the whole time. I then started to shoot as fast as I could at the next target with 80 grains.



I could tell towards the end that the barrel was starting to get fouled as it was getting harder to do the slip fit conical down the bore. The last two started to drift. But the main group is impressive considering I was shooting and loading and then shooting again.

80 & 85 grains of Triple Seven with that conical is an impressive load. A little recoil. But it was 47šs outside, so I was not wearing any jacket today. Just a heavy shirt. But this is one tough little rifle.

After that I shot another inline and then a flintlock. They shot perfect as usual and just loaded the bulls eye. I am thinking to hold off more shooting until I can melt out my target stand and move back a little. 30 yards is a lot of fun, but not much of a challenge. Unless I shoot for a single hole group, which just never seems to happen.
