Phil -

When I was testing the different bullets, I tried shooting them without wads, with one wad, and with two wads, Then I tried loading the wads and bullets together, and tried loading the wads first and then the bullet. As strange as it sounds the accuracy is actually better when I seat the wad first followed with then the conical. Also it makes loading the conical that much easier.
Hey thanks Cayugad. Knew you'd come through and settle my curiosity. Fantastic groups. Are youplanning to huntwith that load this year?

Happy Hunting, Phil

Yes, I am going to see if a whitetail can stand up to only 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f and that 500 grain conical. I think it will knock one down..

That could be a very dangerous load!.............for the next one or two deer behind the one you are shooting.

No problems, even length ways thru a deer.

It will I'm sure. I'm looking forward to your harvest report.

Happy Hunting, Phil
