Kokiak Load
Hi,
went to the range again this time I took all the guns but just shot the kodiak. The first shot 25 yards after bore sighting I hit the orange sticker which is a little bigger then a soda can in diameter. I kept shooting and did fairly well this time shots were aproximately a inch apart with a couple being about 1.5 inches apart. Anyhow I moved out to 50 yards and hit a little low on the target but all were grouped well. I didnt have much time with it as it was getting dark so I just adjusted the scope up a little. I am using the same 300 grain xtp sabots but was wondering what you shoot out of your kodiak? I was also using 100 grains of the rs loose powder. I am planning on shooting it again friday and seeing if the shot raised sense i moved the scope up. I just wonder how the 240 xtps would shoot out of it? I am thinking about giving it a try?.........Shaun

I don't own or shoot a Kodiak, but as with any rifle there is no way to determine what the rifle will like best unless you try them on the range. Perhaps try 90 grains of powder and the same bullet, try the 240 grain, or like Frontier Gander said, some shockwaves might shoot well, some powerbelts, etc.
Good luck with your rifle.

RE: Kokiak Load
I haven't had a chance to try it out on deer yet, but my Kodiak doesn't seem to be picky when it comes to bullets. With 85 grains of Pyro RS I get good groups with 240 gr. Cheapshots, 270 gr. Buffalo Ball-ets and 295 gr. Powerbelts. I am constantly amazed at how accurate this gun is right out of the box with open sights. I bought a scope for it and still have yet to mount it.
I have experimented a little bit with 777 2f but have found Pyro RS to be more consistent (and cheaper).
Shot the 270 gr. Buffalo Ball-ets for the first time this weekend. Fun bullet to shoot- easy to load and accurate. Dead on at 100 yds with the open sights. I think one ofmy doe tags will be filled using that bullet. Too bad they are getting very hard to find.
