Jim Shockeys Gold and Thors?
I got a can of JSG 2F from one of my forum members, He wasnt having any luck with accuracy. Well i got that yesterday, shot it with 300gr powerbelt platinums and my group was really good.
Today we have a cold front, only 62* with cloudy sky, so i figured, what the heck, this is september temperature so lets go shoot! I had already premeasured my loads last night, 90gr JSG 2F, 300gr Thor, Federal 209a Primers * and man are they freakin dirty!* and set up a new target this morning on my sand bucket.
Heres the first 3 shots. That low shot was my fault, i lined up the black part of my sight on the bullseye and not the green optic :x
I wanted to take a 5 shot group so i did so and ended up one hell of a happy camper!
5 shot group @ 50 yards.
I was shooting into damp sand and i figured maybe i'd catch a Thor or two. I did not expect to find them this way though! :lol:

I don't have a target to show but I can say SG has worked pretty good for me.I use an Omega Z5 & 90 gr. SG.and Rem.209 BP primers.So far,both the older style 245 gr. powerbelt and the 250 gr. Barnes MZ group good.If I had to nitpick,the only thing I'm not fond of is the course grain.I'd buy this powder again.
