Default Range Day

After weeks and weeks of other things keeping me from the range, I finally made it out today.

I recently put a Williams FP receiver sight on my BK-92. The goal for today was to get it on paper. Given that it was in the low 80's today I decided that I would shoot some old conicals I have in the shooting box.

The loads for today were TC Maxi-Hunter 350 gr over 70 grains of T7 3F and some old Buffalo Ball-ets over 50 grains of T7 3F.

I did get the sight lined up, but I recall why those two type of bullets were in my rang box so long. I have simple never been able to make either of those shoot well in any of my ML's. today it was 6+ inch groups. Don't get me wrong. I still had a great time. But those bullets just do not work for me. I do recall having much better luck with Hornady Great Plains 385 gr. I could usually get 3 to 4 inch groups at 100 with those anytime (open sights).

Does anyone else have a certain bullet that just will not work well for them?
