I wanted to shoot really bad. So I broke out the T/C Black Diamond XR. I took round ball, 240 grain XTP 44 caliber, 300 grain XTP 45 caliber and some FPB Hornady 350 grain. I used 2f black powder and started at 50 yards.

The round ball with 70 grains did real good at 50 yards. Much better than I expected. But they shot three inches high. The 240 grain with 100 grains did exceptional. At both 50 yards and 75 yards. They also shot high. The 350 grain FPB grouped very good with 100 grains. All shots touching at 75 yards.

But by then the barrel was too hot to even touch. So I did not shoot the 300 grain XTP at all. I called it a day and went inside to cool down.

It was 86 degrees outdoors, no wind, and bright sun. Actually I should have went fishing.
