Experimenting
I tried Blachorn 209, Triple Se7en pellets and pyrodex loose today. A bunch of fun but not a bunch of success. I was out of 240 grain XTP's so I substituted with some discontinued 225 grain hollow point Speer's.
I wasn't getting good groups with the ammount of loose Pyrodex I have been trying so I decided to up the charge to 110 grains. It appeared to tighten the group up. But threw the group off to the left.

That's the second time I've tried it with this rifle and even with different loads I can't seem to get it to group. Yet with what is supposed to be the least productive, the Pyrodex Pellets, I get the best results with them in the Pursuit.

110 grains of loose Pyrodex showed some promise and I intend to give that load another try only with the 240 grain XTP'S next time. I would rather stick with loose if I can get it to work.
