Yesterday morning the rifles punched the target with the 270g Deep Curl. The dry summer is starting to make me nervous. It could be we will be shut out of the hills if the dry hot weather continues, so i am now getting my rifles ready for the early muzzy season. Currently the grass up there is moist and green.








Both rifles were cold and clean at the first shot. The top target was done by the old X7 with factory sights. The lower target by the Dream Season with the FP sight. Both these rifle have QLA. As before the load was 90g BH, crush rib sabot, W209 primer. Only two shots at 100 yard, was taken with each rifle.




This morning the same targets were shot by the same rifles from cold clean barrels at 100 yard.








Without the one way left hole in the top target, them target don't look too bad. Perhaps just a few more trial shots, and this will be the load used for hunting. The Dream Season has a trigger just so barely better than the X7. It seems to be a tad more accurate, but i don't think it is because of the trigger. The X7 may be inconsistent, because this last January, the hunter tried to kill a deer with a bullet and a ram rod. Now, just a head of where the bullet sits, there is a loose spot in the barrel. It is looking like the X7 will be the back up.
