RE: Black Diamond XR Loads
All the hits were within 6" group. The hits were a little under the bull, but not all that bad. This is not the best group, but to be honest, with only a 4 power scope that seemed far enought for me. Plus I had shot all day and was really tired towards the end when shooting. I really think with practice I can do much better, but I would seldom if ever have a need to shoot that far.
I have shot the Shockwaves and the SST's. Funny about the Hornady SST's they load harder. I think it is due to the different sabots. So I orders sabots from MMP, Harvester, Knight, T/C mag express, Claybuster Harvester, and Nosler. I am going to try all of them in the rifle and see what sabot the rifles likes the best. My Staghorn likes MMP's and my Black Diamond likes the T/C mag Express. Who makes them I have no idea, but I intend to test a bunch of different ones.
I also just bought a Knight Wolverine II and I want to run a bunch of different loads through that and see what it will do. I also orders some cool projectiles, so maybe I can find a real shooter out of all of them.
One person I talk to claims the Noslers shoot fantastic out of most in lines. Time will tell. I ordered three different weights of them. The Knight Red Hots I am sure will shoot fine out of the new Wolverine. If that is the case I will develope loads for each rifle,and stick to that.
I shoot Pyrodex RS loose. Depending on the projectile I change my charge weight. I also got some Triple Se7en I will shoot through it to see what it does. One person claims to shoot some Pyrodex P in them. So I got 2 pounds of that to try. I will let you know what I find out in future posts...
