Default Worn out!

Man what a day. I must have recovered about 5lbs of lead from my sand bucket, still have one more to empty out and clean! Shot the Accura ALL day today with an assortment of powders (APP) & Bullets.

I think this load will do....

the drill bit trick works! I took it out again to 100 yards with a new target on it. 150gr APP super stick, 245gr AT Powerbelt and the Winchester W209. Using the drill bit between each shot to clean out the fouling, I pulled this 3 shot group off this evening :!: This deff. made my day!



Who said APP and Powerbelts arent accurate?

I almost forgot to mention that this barrel already had 12 shots through it before i shot this group.

Good group Devil!!! But I'm afraid I must award you two demerits for failing to note the distance. How far?

Sorry `bout that - my mistake.

I have removed the demerits from your record, added a gold star for the excellent group, and awarded myself double demerits (two+two) for failing reading comprehension.

i'll see if i can do this with the 270 plat, 295 AT and the 338 Plat. I know the 270 Plat should come very close to this. Funny thing is, im not going to clean the rifle! Just shoot and see how she does.
