385's do great with pyrodex, im testing out the t7 now and will make adjustments once i have more bullets.

Heres the little mountain rifle .45 i just finished shooting @ 50 yards.. 50 grains T7, 225 aerotip powerbelt. Ive never had this kind of accuracy from this rifle with the powerbelts. Cant wait to see what it will do at 100 yards now. Also going to try those maxi hunters again and see how they do.

First shot is the one on the far right, second is the bulls eye and 3ed is the shot to the left. I think T7 will be the new powder in this rifle.

that 45 cracks me up, i just fired 3 maxi hunters with 50 grains T7, 2 showed up and measured 6" group from center to center, the 3ed hit about a foot up and hit the target board. I loaded up 50grains t7, 225 powerbelt, took my time and squeezed the shot and it clipped the black of the bullseye. Looks like i'll just pay for the powerbelts and go with these, they shoot to good in her. Now tomorrow if the wind is down, 100 yards is next.

That is some real good shooting with that load. It will be interesting to see how they do at 100 yards.

just got in from shooting 3 shots @ 100 with the 45 and i am very very happy, this thing will hold up againstmy winchester. First shot was where i was aiming, or atleast close to where i was aiming, and as usual the next 2 shots were low andholy cow did they group tight! #2-3 shots measured 7/8" from center to center. I would like all the shots to group next to eachother but i'll take what it gives and be happy with it. #1 shot is exactly where i like it for hunting. I shot 60 grains T7, 225 powerbelt. With pyrodex rs, this rifle would hold a steady 3" group. I think i'll stick with the T7 in this rifle. More shooting tomorrow, but im using a black dot target, this orange crap is to hard to see @ 100 yards.

That really is impressive. Looks like you have a good hunting rifle on your hands there.
