Lost a patch
« on: November 03, 2003, 10:14:40 AM »
Have been out 3 times figured I had it narrowed down enough to get a hunting load with what i brought.
Have 2 of one load shoots great....go to next load can not see anything on target go down range the targets and stapler on the ground are spewed with dirt and some targets have dirt on them.
Unsure as to why this happened try again on paper but way different impact point next one is not close....patch barrel loads of lead on patch....cleaned for a while seemed okay but none of the groups were to good after that..
Had some bullets with patch just on edge of boat tail some patches had a tail that I trimmed so it was some what flat on bottom of bullet.
The card shows imprint of bullet base the other 2 are what is left of tails they are peeled rearward so there must be enough paper left to make it do that...will try thicker patches when I get time....
Was a beatiful morning no wind -16*C
Load was H4198  48.5 grs 1/4sheet TP two cards.  2129,2112 fps
