You got a really nice group goin...then ya go and blow it with a couple of well placed fliers?
:shake: :barf:
First three shots right into center and next two pulled them both off to the right, knew as soon as I touched it off on both shots that I had pulled them.
.50 T/C Hawken
80 Gr. fff Goex
.490 Hornady RB
.015 Drill cloth (compresses to .008)
6:1 Ballistol/water lube
5 shots @ 50 yds.
The bore on this rifle is just a touch on the rough side...going to try some 4:1 mix ratio on the lube as the 6:1 seemed too dry for this particular barrel. Was having some problems early in the session with fouling so hoping the richer mix will help keep the fouling softer. Other than that I believe I've got the charge and patch thickness pegged.
