rather than jack around with the 110gr charge, i went out again with 100gr BH209 and the same primer - bullet set up as before.

I was pretty surprised to see how low it shot just from dropping the charge down 10 grains. Accuracy was superb and the Optima and this load is now my main hunting rifle this year!

She's dead on now @ 100 after a couple sight adjustments.

Under 1" ! Shots #2 and 3 were darn near into the same hole, Good thing they wernt or else it really would have been hard to believe LOL


Outside to outside,


This 300gr BT Thor is a tack driver in the Optima with a few minutes between shots.
