Default Range report

Out to try out the trigger work on the Endeavor; start with some other tweaking soon.Tried out some bullets I had not shot before and switched sabots on the Lehigh, souped up the load on the FTX to where I am sure they will open. Weather was beautiful if a bit breezy. All in all I am satisfied and had a lot of fun. Lee

Semisane, actually the Triumph will do better but there are certain things like the recoil damping and the easily tuned up trigger that I like. I have a feeling that the FTX is going to see some use, grouping with 140 gr of BH and going 2336 average FPS it should be a good load for knock down targets out to 250 yds. Lee

That's awesome shooting with all bullets. WOW

I would not suggest the FTX at 250yards. It's going to slow down way to much to perform as stated.

The only thing I shoot at that distance is metal Knock downs and targets. I shoot gongs at long distance for fun. Lee

Green - Shmeen. It's much more humane to shoot paper. Only someone who was around during the pet rock craze can truly understand how docile and defenseless those free ranging stones are. Sure, some of them can be a little rough around the edges. Sure, some of them may attack the soles of your boots or even nip at bare feet, but they only do that in self defense. They're basically harmless and will all smooth out after a millennium or two. Shooting them unnecessarily is just cruel. Please visit the PETS website (PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF STONES) and learn more about our friends on the ground.
