100 yard test of the Green Mountain Barrel
« on: April 05, 2006, 05:49:21 PM »
I got out yesterday to shoot my Muzzleloader. It is the one I wrote about before. It is a TC renegade with a Green Mountain LRH Stainless steel barrel. I was shooting Hornady 410 gr 50 cal. The sights are Lyman 57 peep and Lyman 17 globe.

I held too high on this one but I was shooting for groups.  I held for center of the target. This group was 1.36" at 100 yards. It is a good group for open sights. Each group was three shots. This one had 90 gr of RS, a wind of about 5 MPH


This next one was with 100 gr of RS and my hold was at the 6:00 position. I loved this group, it is the best group I have ever shot with any gun.


This one was 110 gr of RS and my hold was still 6:00 on the target. This one was 2.5" I think i pulled this one but I was short of bullets and had one more group to shoot.
 

This last one is 110 gr of RS at 150 yards. I adjusted the sights to where I thought it would be and it was too high and almost missed. I was holding 6:00 position of the 8x11 paper. It hit 9"high. The group was as close as I could tell 4" at 150 yards.


 I took all three of the 100 yard targets and averaged the 9 shots at 1.42" at 100 yards. I am excited about this gun for a hunting rifle. With some luck I will be going after Deer, Elk, Pronghorn, and maybe a moose if my son draws.   Ron
