:grin: Thanks to all of you its starting to click! 3 in one, @ 50 yards! I love it!!

I hope the photo comes through. this is my best ever group with BP. These were shots 24,24 & 26 out of my new Green Mountain 40 cal.32" barrel. I used a suggested load ( from fellow member ) 65 gr. 3f Goex. .389 cast ball (TOW) and .018 lubed oxyoke patch.
I need more powder & ball :grin:

Very good,you would have to be pleased with that.

Really good target! 3 holes and only 2 visible. :winking:

So, what's the most accurate caliber.....?

I am having a new rifle built with a GM .40 cal, 7/8"x36". Guess I'll have to try 65gr 3f as soon as I get it. :thumbsup:

What are the twist rate in the .40? I read they need to be a little quick.

Nice shooting! :thumbsup:

[Java Man]

gmww,

Green Mtn .40's are all 1:48".

 

[charlie45]

1:48 like java man said. I still think I would use a larger cal. for deer and the like. 50 & up we owe it to them.
I tried the postal shoot last night. Shoot the X from sticks @ 100 yards. All I can say is I will try again tomorrow. I don't think a 4 inch group will cut it. I hope the rest of you are tring it. Even with sticks for my eyes it is a real chore to keep it lined up and focused! :grin:
