Accura- Wolf tests
 
Took them both out to 50 yards just to dial in with IMR White Hots and T7 magnum pellets.

Accura - 245gr Powerbelts
After 5 shots with 100gr IMR White Hots, cci 209 primers, the 6th shot was tight to get down the bore.
#1 shot on clean bore is high,


After cleaning and switching to the T7 Magnum pellets, cci 209 primers, Shot #4 was stiff to load.
#1 shot on clean bore is high again,


The ultra bore coat obviously helps greatly with both powders. Normally with T7 i had to use a range rod and really put some muscle into it on a fouled bore.

Wolf,

100gr IMR White Hots, cci primer, 245gr Powerbelts,
Not happy with this group!


Switched over to the 295's after i cleaned the bore out and shot 4 more shots,
#1 shot was high, some where in the hole is 4 shots LOL. What a difference a bullet weight change makes!


After the 3 shots with the White Hots and 295's i had a bunch of premeasured 80gr 3f American Pioneer Powder. I figured what the heck!

Obviously you can see where one of the holes was covered with a black dot sticky to cover up an old shot from earlier. I am happy as heck with the 3 shot group with APP 3f.


Not a bad day for testing. The barrels were NEVER allowed to cool down between shots! Load up and shoot and those barrels were HOT to the touch!

Not bad , not bad at all but if you want to tighten them groups up you let me know.

LOL, I thought you 2 would get into it for a moment. That would have been funny. By the way. I went and retrieved mv memory card from my trail cam today and I see that if I would have taken opening day off for bow season on the 15th I would have had a total of 4 different chances at 5 different deer between 7:25am and 7:03pm. And an 8 point was there at 5:12am the same day. It's a really buisy mineral lick. Too bad, I don't think I'll get out untill Monday evening and Tuesday morning.

LOL.

Got some W209's today at the store so i am going to test these out with the IMR's here in a bit.

We have an early 10 day Muzzle Loader season starting Oct. 21 thru Oct. 30. I'll be taking all of those days off from work. The first 3 days are buck or doe and the last 7 are doe only.

Marked in RED!


Went and tried the w209 primers in the Accura with 100gr IMR White Hots. Beautiful 3 shot group! 50 yards again though. I ran out of pellets before i could work out to 100 yards. First and second shot were in the same hole, the 3rd shot moved up a touch.

The angle i shoot at is horrible! I have it adjusted almost all of the way up and its just enough to get by.



Now i love taking pictures and this one shows how much ramrod i have to work with after loading powder and bullet.

Sadly though, taking pictures while shooting is a VERY dangerous thing to do. I WAS going to take a 5 shot group but once i fired the 4th shot.....


My ramrod was a bit to short to reload with :s5:
