Rem 700ML/.45 Pacnor
 

62 degrees this morning, not really any wind. Two smokeless 3 shot groups at 100yds sabotless.

Rem 700ML .45 Pacnor fluted Sendero 1-22 twist
Leupold V-XR 4-12x40
Rem 700 SPS stock dipped in Winter Minicry (The Dipper Chick)


225gr XPB's


250gr TEZ's

Almost a one holer. Shot 3 just a shade high.

That's terrific Omega45. I wonder how many Rem 700 cartridge rifles can shoot groups like that.

How tight are those XPBs in the bore?

thats what i want to do with my Rem 700ml but i costs some money to convert it to smokeless so ill save that for in the future. But that is some GREAT shooting

I run the Barnes through a Lee .449 sizer then lightly knurl them, probably not even necessary though. They load very smooth. The Pacnor is the tightest bored muzzleloader I have.

Wow, wow, that is some mighty fine shooting!!

Do you use a wad? One reason i ask, is because i tried the 300g Deep Curl in my 45 caliber Omega. I had no wads. The bullets key holed into a 100 yard target. Then i cut the petals off of tan sabot, and used them for wad. Them bullet worked better with the 'wad'.

Ron,
I used Eastern Maine dry wool wads. I wanted to try the lubed ones also today but they were accidently left on the reloading bench at home.

They all should with the right load. It's known for it's accuracy.

Im surprised these dry wads are not more popular. They are even designed to handle smokeless. Plus they are cheap.

Nice shooting there. It takes the rifle and the man both.

Do you have some on hand to try once you get up and running with the die? Let me know how they do if so. I was recommended the Eastern Maine is why I went with them.
