OOOOOhhh yeah!
Yesterday i did some changes to this load. I used another powder measure that throws out normally 1.5 grains less than what the chart shows on the BH website. One other change, i brought along my timer, set it for 7 minutes and after each shot, hit the button, sat back and relaxed, when the timer reached 2 minutes i would reload and put my hearing muffs on, prime the gun and just wait for the timer to go off, hit the button to stop it from ringing, carefully got the gun set up on the bag and positioned onto the target and squeezed the trigger. Very tame recoil! That 250gr Thor with this 110gr load travels at 1,971 FPS average.
By doing this i was able to shrink my group to 7/8" center to center at 150 yards.
Now i had screwed up earlier and adjusted my scope down way to much and so i made some adjustments, reloaded after it cooled down and took one more shot at 150 yards to make sure it was dead on.
Getting itchy and excited i said to heck with it! I want one more to MAKE sure. Cooled down, reloaded, fired.
Overlapping!
I believe she is ready to be a back up gun on my New Mexico hunt.
Almost forgot, Ray i know you been missing me so here you go :P
