11 days without pulling the trigger. I had to go shoot!

Took some 150gr American Pioneer Super Sticks, Along with a few 295gr Aerotip Powerbelts and new primers. Winchester W209's!! They been out for almost a year and finally got new stock. These are now the most accurate primers with APP so far in my Accura.

Now again, lets remember that these Super Sticks have been giving me problems with not igniting all of the way. Shot #3 was just that, Its the lowest shot of the group.
The first 2 shots fired perfectly and as you can see, the group was great as well until the 3rd shot went, pa-bloink. Im surprised it even hit the target to be honest with you. Shots 1 & 2 were the width of my thumb center to center which measured exactly 1"



Trying 74 grains ( Weight) American Pioneer 3f and the 270gr Powerbelt Platinum. My first shot on a cold barrel was slightly low. The next 3 on a warm barrel were perfect.

The final 3 shots measure 7/8" center to center.



Final adjustments
The shot closest to the bullseye was from the previous 150gr outing. The sticker popped off it. The shot to the left of it was my final adjustment shot with 90gr APP 3f. Lowest shot was also an adjuster. Most likely movement that threw them slightly to the left.


Great fun and accurate day of shooting! Keeps getting better and better as i try new primers and such. Next up are the 338gr Platinums!

What's up with the 150g sticks? I read where you have been having problems. I am heading to my VA property to check the house out after all the storms of the last few weeks. I will take the Genesis and some JSG 50g sticks to see how they do after over 3years sitting in my gun safe. They were opened ..maybe 10 shots used... then sealed with tape and put in safe.

I honestly dont know what the deal is. Some pellets just come to the stores bad. I fired off one other can and it did perfect, another 2 cans of the 100gr sticks and they did perfect. Loose APP always does great. Not sure whats up with this batch of sticks though. Good thing i can only use loose powder here in CO or else i might start to worry.

Boy you had me worried there MD, I thought you were defending youself from your dog after he tried to bite you ass after leaving him at the kennel while you were out having a good time drinking pina colada's! LOL
It's not the first time I heard of a bad batch of pellets or sticks, since I made the switch to lose I have'nt had any problems. It would really suck to pull the trigger on a animal only to find out the sticks or pellets were bad, it keeps you thinking is this shot gonna be o.k., and I dont need that.

90gr 3f JSG 295gr Powerbelt Aerotip @ 100 yards.
2 1/4"


245gr Powerbelt Aerotip, 150gr American Pioneer Super Stick, Winchester W209.
The highest shot was #1 on a cold barrel. 1 1/8"


I did something different today. I used my 7/64 drill bit and ran it into the flash channel after each shot and cleaned out any primer crud that was in there. I think it actually helped keep the accuracy tight. Only a light dusting of primer fouling on the frame. Love these primers!
