White = best group ever!
Took out my White this morning to try an new combo hoping to find my fall elk hunting load.
White mod 97 whitetail .504 with 75 gr of 3fg 777 and a 460 grain bullshop 0.504 bullet. Fiber wad under the bullet. Rear Williams peep and front fiberoptic bead. 6 0'Clock hold.
My first target was at 50 yards. First two bullets touching but way high. 3rd shot: over adjusted low. 4th bullet adjusted up but not enough. 5th,6th, and 7th touching on my aimpoint!
Backed the target up to 100 yards and shot two more shots. Couldn't bring myself to shoot a third as I knew I would screw it up and flinch! Anyway, think I found my elk load!
In addition to the accuracy was that fact that this bullet was not dropping at 100 yards. Lots of momentum on this bullet and it seems to be fairly flat shooting with this load. Will shoot it out the 150 (my max distance for a muzzy shot) before the fall and see where it hits there, but looks like I have a winner

A few years ago I might have worried that low of a charge was suspect on elk, but have had enough guys say that with that size bullshop and the 3fg powder, that is more than adequate for elk. I feel pretty comfortable if I put it where it belongs, he is going down!

I meant to order some replacement parts when I got the gun, but didn't shoot it much and didn't use it hunting so that got put on the back burner. Are they still available? I have an old email from a Steven Brown about parts. Is he still the guy to talk to?

Yep he's still the person to talk to . He will email you what he has as current inventory if you ask him . At least he still did that last year when I got a list from him . Unfortunately I didn't save the list or I could send it to you .
