We tested Hornady xtp and Thompson Center shockwaves.

Shockwaves were so accurate that sometimes we would double tap at 150 yards. But the xtps were just a little bit outside the bulls eye.

I was going to shoot the barns T-ez but did not have time.

The gun was a thumb-holed stock Thompson Omega with Nikon Omega 3x9 scope with BDC. The BDC is perfect for longer ranges.

For instance: We shot the first circle down on the bdc at 138 yards to see where it would hit. It hit 1/2 inch high.

The powder was 100 g of Black Horn 209

Primer was federal 209 A Shotgun

Thats a good scope Ray. I will try the increments with the T-ez and let everyone know. I did shoot the Barnes bullet well last year at 200 yards, but I was trying out my new scope rings and it appears BP is still on the money.
