I decided that even though I am behind on everything that I would at least run out and finally take a few shots just to get it out of my system.So I grabbed the Mountaineer, I didn't want to measure out powder so I just took some triple 777 pellets and 777 primers.I didn't plan on sighting it in or doing anything other than get a feel for it and pull the trigger.
I loaded a 100 grains ( 2pellets, and I am not a pellet person) I didn't have any sabots for the Lehighs so I took some 260 gr Scorpion pt with crushrib sabot.
I set the target at 50 yards, just to see if it was on paper. The first shot wasn't bad, but i couldn't figure out what made the other hole. I didn't have a shooting rest so I just shot from a prone position.
then I swabbed with my usual spit patch and shot #3,4 ,and 5
Not a bad group. as I was walking to the target I spotted some of the sabots so I picked up 3 of them. Then I made one scope adjustment and took one shot at a new target. I was so pleased I decided to go home and clean it and wait for the Bloodline bullets and weigh out some powder to really experiment and dial it in. But I do believe the Mountaineer is a winner.
