Default TC Black Diamond And Patched Round Balls

Couple years ago i discovered that this gun shoots patched round balls tolerably well. The QLA makes for easy loading too.

Distance: 75 meters
Wind: 12 o'clock 15mph gusting to over 20 mph.

Rifle: TC Black Diamond
Scope: ZA-3 Minox
Primer: Winchester #11 magnum
Powder: 80 grains of sifted 3F Pinnacle
Patch: Pre-lubed
Ball: Hornady .490

Fired this 2" group.



Changed the target and moved it to 100 meters.

Powder: 100 grains of sifted 3F Pinnacle
Bullet: 250 grain SST
Sabot: Short black

Fired three rounds into a group that measures 7/8". Problem was i was aiming at the left hand lower target. Adjusted the scope and fired another group that measures 1 3/4".



The guy at the next bench was firing a very nice AR-15 making nice groups. Told him i was going to put a big bullet into the middle of his 1" five shot group. He said: "You can't do it. Held about 1 1/2" to the left and put a big hole in the middle of his group. No camera, no picture.
