Today was the first day i got to take the Mountaineer to the range. Gordy asked me to shoot it with the red plastic jacket plug first. I also want to mention this new plug is also BH209 compatible.

I took the Leupold Ultimate Slam off my LRH Elite and put it on the Mountaineer. This was the first three shots at the range with the Mountaineer at 100yds.



The next group was with 120grns of BH209 and a 300grn bullet. It really opened up so i dropped down to 110grns. What a big difference. The taped holes are with 120grns.



The weather was pretty bad out. The 250grn bullet shot so well i decided to shout a group at 200yds.

You mean FPJ, I assume, RPJ is pretty close to what the use in the middle east.... RPG 'rocket propelled grenade'

Those are dang decent groups from a gun that is factory new... and then add on top of that the weather conditions you were shooting in...

OK since you shot it once would you consider sharing send it out here so I can shoot it!

I really want those 300 grain Lehighs to shoot well out of that gun, but even more the 275's. Those would be the bullets I would use most.

Could you or would you say the bore coating product they are now using was or is an asset?

Did you do anything to the stock and barrel fit or was it right out of the box?

May is coming quickly so those rifles should be getting pretty close to ready to come out, I guess I am betting more on late May than early May...
