Gotta fine a plinking load that shoots the lead powder coated 405 Gr FN slugg since I have a bunch. Projectiles are also showing up from backorder lists and I now feel like I can shoot more. So much fun, dickering with this gun and brand new platform to me. That alone may shave 1/2" or more off of some of the groups where two are touching and one seems to wander.Īll in all fun stuff and a "home made" gun that wants to shoot. Got about 3 stages of grit before it breaks. Looking to get the scope up a little higher and maybe replace the trigger which is challenging to squeeze well with. Once I get one that stands above the rest, I will take it out to 200 Yds. I am going to continue to try and repeat several good loads. So with jacketed bullets and copper mono's, it seems like Minute of deer is easily doable at 100. 2" all verticalĢ50 mono with 33 gr lil'gun 7/8' - Very nice cloverleaf. I get 2 shots well inside an inch and then throw one 2" high.ģ00 Rem ( the hero load from last week) 2" with 2 touchingĢ50 mono with 36 gr H110. So I made it to the range for an hour and shot all the aforementioned loads I wanted to try. I will also keep trying, without too much urgency, to figure out the bigger 405 flat nose lead bullets. In this day and age, we may have to fall back on "anything we have". It is always the most fun to experiment and figure out a gun and to figure out how to make almost anything you have work. General goal is getting all these bullets to shoot no worse than 2-3 inch groups at 100 and then be able to use them all if I wanted to or have to if I run out of a preferred bullet. We could wring 2000 fps out of those when using 150 gr Goex FFFg. It should be about the same thing from a trajectory standpoint. That was always my strategy back in the day when we used our knight disc rifles and 250 gr Barnes HP coppers. I think that this gun, being a relatively short range proposition with 200 yds being max, a faster bullet will give the ability to zero at 125 or 150 and not worry about holding low at closer distances while still being on hair or backline at the worst at 200. I read that post a while back and was also impressed the the bullet performed so well. There is also a tractor trailer load of logs in my yard that needs cutting up now that the weather is improving and all the snow is gone. However, I have bitten into enough small pieces of lead and jacket material in my life to lean on the mono's if I wanna eat what I kill. In this caliber, due to bullets weights used, just about any soft or hollow point is going to crush a deer at any angle in my opinion. Reliable deer crushers and always two holes. Always been a fan of monolithic bullets and a lot of experience with Barnes coppers in several rifles and ML's. I have read that the latter 2 loads could tickle 2000 fps. Hoping for a quick range trip to camp tomorrow to try repeating a few loads with promise and trying two new ones with some 250 monoflexes that finally shipped after being on backorder for a long time.Ģ9 gr lil'gun and 325 FTX seated right in the middle of the cannelure - This has shot a 2" group and a 3 1/2" groupģ1 gr lil'gun and 300 Rem HP seated in the middle of the cannelure - Last week this printed a 1 1/4" groupģ3 gr lil'gun and 250 Monoflex, seated in middle of upper relief groove
