Just finished some load experimentation with the T/C Omega Z5 (blued barrel, black composite stock) and did a preliminary sighting in (when it gets colder, I'll double-check my zero). Ended up using the 270gr .44 DeepCurl SP with the Harvester green crush rib sabot, 110gr BH209, Win 209 primer.

It's amazing what a difference 10gr of powder will make. About two months ago, I shot the same bullet/sabot with only 100gr powder, and while the 50-yard groups were great, the 100-yard groups were like 3-4". The 10gr boost shifted this to a 1 MOA load.

Each circled shot or group was made after a scope adjustment. I'm thinking I'll leave it right there...what do you say?

Oh, and I'm surprised I was able to keep my nerves steady. About 2 shots before I was ready to start using this target to sight in, I got a little too cozy with the gun, and got a nice scope bite on the bridge of my nose. Things were fuzzy for a few minutes there! Somehow I was able to continue to shoot well, even though I was sure I would flinch a time or two.

OK - I added attachments...why are they not showing in thread? Tried this twice, and they showed in the preview.
