Yesterday, wife say she wanted to work on taxes this morning. She went on to say, before we did, i was to go shoot my rifles, while she did a couple of chores. It snowed yesterday afternoon and night, but this morning the sun shone, and there was little breeze. When i arrived at the place to shoot, it was 26*, but the air was nearly still. There were two rifles in the truck, so i ended up shooting them both.

The breech plug in the Accura had seemed to show a little flame cutting in the primer seat, so i drilled it some deeper so it would no longer work with the STS, but would be just right for the W209 primer. The breech plug and the Accura were clean, and i had used Montana X-Treme bore conditioner in the barrel. Also, i thought i would give the Harvester 260g PT bullet a try this time. The load was 115g of BH, the sabot was the short black, and the primer was the W209. The first shot with the rifle and the fancy new scope using the second dot at 202 yard was surprisingly high, but the next 3 were near where i wanted them to be. The 4 holes made with the Accura and the new scope, are the ones that weren't colored.













Then i switched rifles, and shot 4 more shots with the V2, which hasn't been cleaned for several shots. That load was the same 260g Harvester PT bullet, pushed by 115g of BH, in the short black sabot, but ignited by the STS primer. The V2 has a 4x scope mounted on it with a normal reticle. The aim was the top bull, and these bullet holes i colored green.
