Default New Pro Hunter w/ Barnes TAC's

I recently purchased a new Pro Hunter frame only. My friend at the gun shop I bought it from threw in a good deal on a Bellm trigger job, FREE. Trigger breaks at 2.25lbs with no creep. The laminated thumbhole stock and forend set came from Cabelas. I took it out today on its maiden voyage with my .45 TC barrel and TBML 3-9x40 scope and it loves the Barnes 155gr TAC bullets in a blue Harvester smooth sabot ignited by a regular CCI primer at 100yds. 100gr of BH209 has it moving around 2200fps according to my Chrony. My buddy recently recovered a 155gr TAC bullet he fired into wet phone books at 100yds and it only lost a few grains, last picture.

I tried Win209's and they were squeeky clean, so clean my son asked me if they had been fired while I had them laying on the bench. My group with the Win209's was pushing 2-2.5 inches. When I switched to the regular CCI's the group pulled together.

On another note today I was in a bind and wanted to clean my barrel at the range and only had patches that were soaked in Rusty Duck Black Off. They worked great. It was a quick clean-up. I am not even sure if they even sell Rusty Duck anymore.
