fun day sending lead down range, other then lead got the best of me at 50yrds. i don't know yet if i will post the targets.

Seeing you were shooting primers I am guessing this was done out of your Knight USA with a 1-28 twist?

Good information there. I would not have guessed their speeds at that.

45cal win apex (cva kodiak) 1-28 twist.

don't wanna go there on the knight usak

Wow.. I was not even aware they made a minnie for the .45 caliber. They sound interesting. How were they accuracy wise?

i had them set up for 100yrds for the last hunting season. today, I could not get anything less then an 4in group at 50yrds because the wind was so bad. also forgot my target stand which holds my targets better then just using the string the range supplies.

here is the mold i am using
