triumph and 250 gr gold dot/deep curl
Well went out to my favorite wash earlier today and got set up to shoot. 50 yd target with new NECG peep installed on rifle. i usually i shoot 250 gr barnes tez 95 gr 777 out of this rifle and they are tack drivers. i bought the 250 gr gold dots to practice with and to use in the wifes wolverine. so i loaded 95 gr 777, crushed rib sabot and the 250 gr GD down the pipe. 3 shot group 2 touched one a lil low, which i feel was me and not the load, just for the hell of it i loaded in a 250 gr TEZ with the same charge and it touched the first 2 in the GD group. pictures to come, i need wife to show me how to Dl pics lol.i must say it was strange shooting with both eyes open with yhe peep sight. left eye had a hard time adjusting to it.but the more i shot the better it felt. to be honest i shot just as well with the original sights.but i think the peep will shine out at 100 yds plus.i also had to hold low on target, i need to order a shorter front sight since i have the peep adjusted all the way down and its hitting really high. just thought i would share the morning..

What you need is a taller front sight.

I really like the 250gr GoldDots/DeepCurls too. They shoot really well in most guns ive had even with mild loads.

thats good to know since i originally bought them for my wife to shoot in her youth model wolverine. she couldnt make it out today to shoot.
The load shoots great and the bullet mushroomed extremely well. In wet phone books it left one of the largest holes of any we tried. |

Its about my favorite 45cal bullet for a reduced recoil load. The one we settled on for my friend's son was 80grs of BH209 but its in a bit larger rifle.

Start as low as you can and let HER work upto what she is comfortable shooting.
IMO for out to roughly 100yards, 80grs of either powder is plenty with that bullet and expansion is very reliable. Very cost effective option IMO. |
