Default Test of Bull Shop 610 grain gas checked conicals

But first I fired out the load that had been in the Ultra Mag for over 14 and a half days. The original 4 shot group from sight in on November 2nd was still attached to my target box so I fired at it rather hurriedly. I think it did not so bad (half of that displacement was probably due to my anticipation of the big bruisers I was going to shoot ). All shots fired today were at 100 yards.



Used a MAP dampened patch - both sides to swab after the shot above and after all subsequent shots. Didn't bother with a dry patch.

Fired the Bull Shop gas-checked 610 grain conicals over a charge of 60 grains of FFFg Swiss. I fired each shot as quickly as I could get reloaded for reasons unknown to me. I knew that I had pulled up on shot 3 the moment I felt the trigger break .



Recoil was not at all severe with that load. I think the group could have been more impressive with more carefully thrown charges and a bit more time between shots.

The big boolits are magnificent but did fit a little loose in my Umag's bore. I could live with that.

Thankyouverymuch

Mighty fine shooting there, UC. I don't think I would bother with carefully thrown charges.

Tight groups just make you smile.

Nice job UC, but why do you insist on pulling one shot out of the group like that? ;D

Looks like Dan has another winner.

Real good looking there UC. 610 grains of weight should be able to knock something down.

60 grs is a little girl load. No offense to any ladies on the board.
