Finally was able to get to the range at lunch. First three shots at 50 yards were touching albeit 4” high/ slightly left (maybe .25") and I was only shooting a 70 grain by weight charge. Took it out to 100 yards and shot two shots within an inch of each other that were about 3” high and .5” left. Dialed my scope down 2” and called it a day. I’m going to clean it tonight and shoot it again on Friday to re-confirm. I’m a big fan of the Blackhorn powder, CCI Primers, and Barnes TMZ sabots. I don’t see a need to increase my charge weight with those results as I rarely shoot past 75-100 yards. I’d just be wasting powder right?

I started measuring powder with a digital scale/dispenser. When I was transferring the charges to powder tubes, I noticed that my charges weren't lining up as expected. For instance a 70 grain by weight charge should = 100 grains by volume according to information from the vendor. Yet, when I dumped the charge into the tube it was closer to 90-92 grains by volume. Not sure how accurate those tubes are, but I'm going to reset my scale tonight and re-dispense the powder to see if I FUBAR'D zeroing the scale.

in looking at the load data, stepping up to 120 grains by volume gets you an extra 200ft/sec. Most of my shots are 80 yards or less so as long as she shoots good with 100grain by volume (70 by weight), I'll stick with that.

I read this on some earlier posts/other forums. Took some effort to find them, but I finally was able to get my hands on them last week.

Should have also mentioned this is in a CVA Accura V2. I bought the BH breach plug to eliminate a potential variable to blame.

Rough way to go to say the least, but there's no way a combine doesn't wake you up unless something else is awry such as a medical condition or drugs.

Finally took the plunge and have everything I need to switch over to BH209. Going to be using CCI primers and Barnes 250 gr TMZ sabots. When it comes to siting in for the first time, anyone have guidance on what weight to start with? I was going to start with 70 grains by weight using my RCBS Chargemaster and site in at 50 yards. Get it dialed in then experiment at 100 yards with 70, 75, and 80 grain charges to see what groups the best. Or is there a better way?

To be honest, it might have been my impatience. The system hung multiple times attempting to connect to their payment gateway and i would refresh it after about 5 minutes of doing nothing. The only positive thing I can say about the online system is the map feature when selecting doe tags. Other than that it was a waste of our taxpayer dollars.

If you used the new online system, double check your credit/debit card statements. System triple charged me for my dmps and double charged me for my dad's license.

Touche'

No way they'll force you to print your own tags. Paper will disintegrate in the woods and people will just make multiple copies of their tags. I haven't heard the 8/10 date, but i did just re-register on the new site. Pretty simple process and appears more user friendly than the last site, but time will tell.

Not sure he's a shooter. Might need another year. Nonetheless awesome work!

They age that monster?

Ordered some tickets. Of the countless gun raffles I have participated in my life, I have yet to win anything. I like my chances this time!

Information Security Manager. I fight Russia, China, etc. on daily basis from stealing corporate IP as well as other valuable information. Love it and hate it at the same time. Love it because it's something new almost every day. Hate it for the same reason Newman hated the mail on Seinfeld, "Because the it never stops. they just keep coming and coming and coming. There's never a letup, it's relentless. Every day it piles up more and more, and you gotta get it out, but the more you get out, the more keeps coming in"

I have Nikon SlugHunters on both of my rifled shotguns. 3-9x40 on the savage 220 and a 1.65-5x32 on my 870 SPS SuperSlug. I much prefer the 1.65-5x32 scope as most of my shots are under 100 yards.

Happy Birthday Young Fella!

Awseome mount! Any idea on age?

you watch your mouth when you talk about Nash Bridges!

Seasonal flu kills on average 12,000-30,000 in any given year in the US alone. The fatality rate from this new virus is higher than the seasonal flu, but it still feels like it's being over-hyped by the media. If we were talking about MERS where the fatality rate is 30%+, that's a different situation (IMO).

I second the Black & Blue from Moog if the Mrs. likes a good steak and seafood.
