RE: Failed Again. I Just Could Not Do It.
 
I hear you Buck Hunter. But here's the problem. Last week-end I shot up a little over a pound of GOEX playing around with my .54 Great Plainsand .45 Renegade. The week-end before that I shot up a half pound of GOEX and about a quarter pound each of T7 and Pyrodex in the Mustang. Now if I fell in love with BlackHorn and started playing around with it like thatI would go broke in short order and could not afford gas for the truck to drive to the range. :D

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I can shoot about twenty-five60 grain targetloads of GOEX FFFg under a patched ball in the Great Plains without swabbing and with no loss of accuracy.

Well, I can't find it around me. We only have a Diick's Sporting Goods and they have next to nothing as far as MZ supplies. So, I bit the bullet and payed the $37+ a bottle at that Cabelas in Hammond, IN about three weeks ago. I got two bottles.....I KNOWBut I just had to try it and I didn't only want to buy one if it works out good. What ya do??

Semisane Ive got a leopuld 2x7 on it. Im shooting BH209 loads so far

100 grains 250 xtps crush rib sabots,just under 2 inches at 100 yards
70 grains 180 grain Gold Dots mmp50/40 sabots right at an inch if I let the barrel cool after the 2nd shot
100 grains 250 grain SSTs crush rib sabot Between 2 & 3 inch groups

Ive got some of the new crush rib 50/40sabots & some 200 grain shockwaves to try out , Just cant get to the range. Working for a living sucks

Im gonna switch out scopes Ive got a Leupold 2x7 shotgun scope that has a little more Eye relief. This gun is real light, When you get up to the 100 grain loads,recoil is a bit stiff. Ive scoped myself with it twice[:@][:@]. I want to get the scope mount with the built in peep so I can switch back & forth

Thanks BM,I'm afraid I'm gonna` have to get one of those little X7s. Wanted to wait for the after Christmas sales, but I'm getting a little worried. Cabela's no longer shows them on their web site.
