Tried the smaller ball today
 
Got out today and had a blast shooting the GPR. Got some new loads down on paper and they seem to shoot just as good as the .530 round balls.

80gr 3f American Pioneer, .018 pillow tick, Smaller .526" round ball @ 50 yards.


Target 2 - 90gr 2F American Pioneer. Dang flier!


Switched to 80gr 3F Goex, Dang flier again!


The White out marks were the shots from Target 2. I actually went and got one more load to make sure that flier wasnt an actual grouper. That load checked out fine.

The numbers holes was with 90gr 3f Jim Shockeys Gold 3f. I really do like that JSG in this Great Plains Rifle.


But in all, a good warm day to go work up some loads and have a good time. Now time to go relax.

How about a picture of the patches, they will tell the story...

patches with the american pioneer looked brand new. Goex patches were shredded surprisingly.

Nice MD. I've never tried JSG. Maybe I might have to.

Fix the patching problem and your groups will come together...What lube are you using???
