Default Range day to day

I drag the hawken flinter out to day yep shot excellent at 75 yards with 80 grains of 3F goex spit patch not my hunting load but taking it easy on the shoulder.My hunting load is 95 gr. 3F and RB
The next gun up was the CVA Optima seem this gun so far with shoot outstanding no matter what goes down the bore.
The bore seem to favor bullet/sabot combo that run .503
I tried to day 80 grains of BH209 with the new T/C 240 grain SW
Man one hole group 2 1/2" over center 3 shots
after that packed up don't want to push the shoulder yet hunting season is still 7 weeks away

Well don't hurt yourself. But I bet it felt good to get out and shoot the rifles. Sounds like you have some great shooters.

Glad you're back in action Lonewolf. Two guns, both shooting great. Now that's nice.
