Default Shot the 45 today

Now that i got it on target for 150 yards, i took 3 225g powerbelts and loaded up with my new load of 70 grains Triple 7, setup my target at 150 yards and took my 3 shots. It looks like i'll have to aim dead center of the shoulder to hit where i usually like to place my bullet on deer. But i just have to remember that if its 100 yards or closer, its dead center. Measured and came up with a 2" , 3 shot group @ 150 yards. I think i could tighten them up a bit more with a wad but thats going to be future tuning later on. Right now im set and looking forward to this years muzzy season, And this years rendezvous. Rifle loves .440 PRB and 50 grains RS to shoot a one hole 3 shot group @ 100. PRB sucks with triple 7 but thats fine with me, As long as it will shoot the powerbelts tight with the t7, i dont mind keeping two powders on hand.

Is this with open sights out of your traditional rifle? That is some excellent shooting.

Yes thats with the .45cal deercreek mtn rifle and silver blade front sight. I can actually see this target better at 150 VS 100 for some reason. Im getting better with these sights over the months ive owned the rifle. Also adjusted the trigger just a hair to ease it up.
