Well the Truglo Red Dot did fine on it's first trip to the range this morning. Had it on paper @ 100 yards by the third shot. Let the gun cool and fired a semi-rested four shot group @ 100 yards using 460 grain NoExcuses conicals over a wonder wad and (2) 50 grain 777 pellets. The group was 4 inches. Since I couldn't see the bullseye at 100 yards I was just aiming center mass on my target so it would appear to be more than MOD @ 100 yards. FWIW, I have owned several inline MZs that wouldn't shoot a 4" group @ 100 yards with conicals and a 9x scope so not a bad group (for me) without magnification.
I will be shooting BH209 again as soon as my free Triple 7 powder & pellets are gone. BTW, the reccommendation to "crack" the breech plug after a couple of shots with 777 is a good one, too bad I didn't remember this until I got home.
