Default Deep Curl defeats XTP Mag Update with Pic

Well after today I finally chose the Deep Curl. Did a milk jug test at 100 yards and the xtp tore it in half but it was slow. Actually got to watch it through the scope. The deep curl was different, pulled the trigger and it was GONE. There was pieces of the jug all over the place. Sorry no video though maybe next time. Also I want to say I was wrong and hard headed on the powder charge issue. 110 grains of BH209 seems to work the best especially at longer distances. Here is a pic of 100 yards and 200 yards. There is one bullet hole in the bottom of the 200 yard target. That was me trying to find out which circle to use on my OMEGA scope. Ends up being the bottome of second circle. Also and I will film this next time was 300 yards and a metal target. Got 5 shots in a row hitting it. That is the solid black bar below the fourth circle !!!!! I will chrono 110 grains soon but I did a rough figure. I took how much the fps increased between 90 and 100 grains and added that to the 100 grain fps to equal 110. Hope that made sense. That equals 2014 fps.

So at 200 yards the drop is -10.5 inches, fps 1445 and energy of 1391

300 yards is a drop of -37.9 inches, 1230 fps, and energy of 1008.

Now don't quote this yet. Its kinda a nice base line but I will get the actual chorony results some time this month

Sorry I'm such an air head today.
