Went back to the range today and tried the Barnes TEZ's with 100grs of pyrodex instead of the blackhorn and they shot awful,it was about a 6inch group. I've just come to realize that the barnes T ez's aren't going to shoot good out of my rifle.I've tried 90grs,100grs,110grs and 120grs of blackhorn 209 and 100grs of triple 7 and the best I could get was about 2 to 3 inch groups.So I just went back to what i've been useing for the past 4 years,the Hornady FPB. I've been useing the FPB ever since they came out and have taken 5 deer with them,and have been pretty satisfied.I get great groups with 2 50gr pellets of triple seven.
I wanted to keep useing the blackhorn powder but it just didn't shoot the FPB bullet good,so im off to bass pro to pick up some more FPB's and triple 7. I guess there is no need to try to fix whats not broke. I was just wanting a more "long range" load.The 350gr FPB doesn't seem long range to me.I think im gonna get a pack of the 300gr FPB and see how they shoot. Anyone try the 300gr yet? I wonder if a rifle shoots the 350gr good will it shoot the 300gr FPB good? Anyway,this is what the Hornady FPB has always provided me with,all day every day for the past 4 years.
