well guys....my impatience got the best of me today...i just had to shoot

i started with a dirty bore that i ran dry patch down.

i shot 4 times....shots 1,3, and 4 were all basically touching...cloverleaf!! shot 2 was an inch or so above the cloverleaf. 240 grain dead center with 110 grains BH209

i pulled the breach after each shot, and ran a dry patch, and let the barrel cool. I indexed the sabot each time. my rifle ports align perfectly with the petals so that was nice. i was using the plastic bullet seater that comes with the dead center bullets. however, on shot 2, i seated the bullet with the metal end of the ramrod by mistake. maybe i made a dent in the lead or something, but I'm going to attribute this as the cause of this shot being the flier for my own sanity lol Shots 1, 3, and 4 were prepared exactly the same. to say i'm VERY happy is an understatement....now on to 200 yards!!

i'll post the target tomorrow ...
