disc extreme's first outing
 
I got out to the range today. to the disc extreme and the apex.

stopped by an gunshot on the way there and picked up a some triple 7 primers.

got to the range set up the targets.

start with the apex
shooting 275grs 45 cal powerbelts with 75grs of pyrodex rs. at 50 yrds. vertical 3 shot group maybe 2in not to happy. moved out to 100yrds, it was why low. started shaking my head. shot 1 300grs plat. it was low. ajusted the scope up could not find where I shooting. moved back to 50yrds. it was 8in high. [:@]
got it back to 1in high. took all 12 loads I had with me to do that. I guess it is going to be 270 plats in this one. 2 in groups 100yrds.

the disc extreme
I started out shooting tc cheap shots to see where the scope was hitting. used 75grs of triples 7 2f. 1in group right above the bulls. :)
same charge and tried 295gr power belts at 100yrds. damn wind picked up. first shot dead center and just to the right of the bulls. last 2 got hit by the wind. kicked up to 15mph.
fpbs with the same charge vertical group maybe 3in at 100yrds
jumped the charges to 100grs shoot 5 200gr shockwaves why high at 100yrds.

ready for a little info for disc extreme users and fbps. I shoot fpbs with (ready for this) 100grs of triple 7 2f. first 2 touching. I was tired so I blow the group. last 3 where all over the places

pretty much. I may have to do one more range session it may be able to use the fpbs and 100grs. so much for a light charge.

Your disc extreme might not like powerbelts. Try some 250 grain Shockwaves in it with about 100 grains of that Triple Se7en 2f powder and I think you might be much more pleased with the results..

Sounds like you had a nice day at the range. That is the important part.

I do some work with powerbelts next year.

I am going to see if I can get shooting may end up with the fpb with 75 or 100grs of triple 7.

did not do to bad with them
