went to the range with my TC white mountian....1-20 twist(maybe28) I wanted to see what it would do with saboted bullets I've only shot maxi hunters for over 20 years and some rb's this year...r.e.a.l's too...but because of the twist rate I probly been useing the wrong ammo I've allways hunted with 90 grs rs pyrodex so I started with that 90 grs rs with a 50 cal harvester crushed rib sabot and a xtp mag 300gr .452....first shot was me high left (out side 1 shot of day)but 2 good shoots and 2 poor shots followed all shots were at 50 yards

I hate the sights on my white mountian there the factory sights the one with the v in the back not the partridge sight TC made...I like the TC partridge sight thats flat across the rear sight...I got a replacement fiberopic frount sight and I'm going to switch to the fiberopic rear sight too when I get both,I'll change the sights....this was my first time playing with saboted loads in this gun looks like it might like 80grs...I ran dry patches down between shots and a wet one when I started a new target

I take it that's with open sights. It looks like 80 grains is working. A deer doesn't have a chance if it gets that close to you. Not bad. But you should try a few shots at what you think your maximum range is with open sights. My max is about 70 yards.

yes open sights...I really want to see how far I can shoot funny how my confidence changes with the sights, I hit a bell at 90 yards in the woods with my 56 smoothbore renagrade with the partridge TC sights...I had alot of confidence that day...the more I'm shooting I'm learning what sights I like better
