Default BH209- T7 -American Pioneer Day

Got out this nice hot afternoon with the Accura, Started off first with the 245gr Powerbelts and 90gr BH209, Winchester W209 primers. 100 yards.

Took 3 shots with a hot barrel * My aiming point was the 9 on the target*


After adjusting the scope 3 clicks to the right i went and let the bore cool down between shots and took 3 more shots.
First 2 shots almost touching. Going to measure that one later on.


Talk about consistent!


With the T7 i didnt bother taking a picture because i am not exactly sure if its a fluke, 3 shots into a single hole or what but i dont believe it myself and wasnt about to post that picture and argue about it! Two T7 Magnum pellets, no swabbing, winchester w209 primers, 250gr slick load sabots, 3 shots and like i said, only one hole. Not going to bother talking about this one!

I accidently messed up with the American Pioneer Powder. I thought it was 80gr 2f but it turned out to be 80gr 3F! And damn was it accurate! I havent played much with 3f in the inlines but i am sure going to start again. First 2 shots were touching, Third shot opened it to what i'd guess to be around 1 1/2" group.

After the APP group i went and started experimenting with loading the 295gr powerbelts lightly on top of the powder and allowing the bore to cool down. It was throwing them into a 5" group.

Next experiment i seated them lightly again and shot them on a hot barrel. Surprisingly that was ok group wise but they dropped a good 3" in elevation on a hot barrel.

Im going to get the sand buckets ready here in a bit and possibly tomorrow start testing the 300gr Thors at 75-100 yards with 100gr BH209 in the Accura and just do some tests on the bullet.
