Default Invitation accepted-Challenge declined

I was invited to a private shooting range the other day and went today. There was no challenge made actually. If there was I would have declined to participate anyway. Because I would have lost!
It was a very nice 21 bench 100 and 200 yard range. And we were the only 2 shooters there the whole time. I took the Traditions Pursuit to try out Blackhorn 209 for the first time. I think I was too impatient and went back to Pyrodex pellets and then went to pyrodex loose. I had no ignition problems at all with the stock breech plug using Blackhorn 209 in the Pursuit. Here are some results.
All targets were shot at 100 yards using a Traditions Pursuit Pro/XLT Hybrid.



Blackhorn 209/Winchester 209 primer/230 grain Thompson Center Sure Fire/Mag Express sabot

2-50grain Pyrodex Pellets/Winchester Triple Se7en 209 primer/240grain XTP/Thompson Center Mag Express sabot. The shot off to the left was the first shot and the 3 shot group being shots 2, 3, and 4.

80 grains Pyrodex loose/Winchester Triple Se7en 209 primer/240 grain XTP/Thompson Center Mag Express sabot

Too bad the last shot with Pyrodex loose hit below the target.
