I was hoping this would of been just an play day and finalizing day. not my luck. the scope on silver eagle is 100% bad. just the force need to start 250gr lee reals made the cross hairs move. still shot it hoping that it would hold out. no luck. first 11 shots i can't call them shot gun style pattering. the last 4, you could hear my heart break I watched the zero go away. so bad, the last two where not even on paper. I had over all 2, 3 shot groups measuring .5 to 1 inch touching. another 3 shot group at 2 inch. all at 50yrds.


as for my win apex. an dumb mistake on my part. I played with the scope settings. I gotta set it back up with the load I am going to use.

the bh209 load at 100yrds was almost 2 ft high and about an 6 in group only 65grs with an wad.

pyrodex rs was also about 2ft high at 100 yrds. until I massed with the scope settings. moved back to 50yrds, fired 5 shots. first 4 where off the paper last shot 2in high and 1in to the right of the bulls. I swabbed between every shot but the last 2. so with pyrodex rs my paper patched bullet like likes extreme dirty barrels.

trying to decide if i am going to buy another scope or just switch on off another gun for my silver eagle.
