My order of Thors came in today and perfect timing! I first shot 3 shots @ 100 yards with the 245gr powerbelt with 90gr BH209. Same group as yesterday, only i think i tightened it up a bit since then. Talk about consistent!
#2 shot is the lowest,


Now with the 250gr ballistic tip Thors, i also used 90gr BH209. The second shot is the highest/Left shot. For some reason this rifle always has the #2 open up, I am thinking it is due to Barrel Heat up. The next 2 are in that big hole that opened up.


Went back to the house to reload my powder tubes and brought it back out. Again! #2 is the highest to the left. Shots 1 & 3 again are touching like the last time.


Later this evening i am going back out again when it is cooler. I'll up my charge to 100gr BH209 and see how it does.

Nice shooting. I really like the looks of that new Optima. Looks like it's a shooter too.

The Thors do look very interesting and nice shooting.

Gander, I have gone to adjusting the powder load by 5 gr instead of 10 with BH, I go every 10 until I find the best that way then try 5 up and 5 down. Progressive burning powder often requires a finer adjustment than a constant burning powder for max accuracy.Lee

Will do Lee. I have to reload my tubes later on so i will try 5 grains and see how it does.

Seeing how T7 and BH209 shoot pretty much the same velocity, BH209 being slightly faster, this bullet should be doing 1,950fps.
