I promised Scott (GM54-120) ages ago that I would get out and get him some information on some lead Conicals that he sent me. These are a .406/260 grain Heavy 40 cal bullet. I was a bit worried about how tight they might be - but they were perfect in the Blue Harvester Crush Rib.
My charge was to get Scott some velocites so I decided to try some different powder volumes. I shot T7-3f powder as i am getting low on 2f, somehow some way I have shot up 5 or 6 pounds of it from December to April... I can not believe I have shot that much - but it is gone + I am down to my last box of 180 Gold Dots and 200 grain XTP's and I started with 3 of each...
Thank gosh Rondy season is on us - those PRB's are lot less expensive to shoot.
Anyway, Scott the target was set at 50 yards because I get a little nervous shooting over a chrono. But the bullets did very well. I think I might have tightend the groups a little more if I had cleaned the conicals up and removed the bullet lube. The only ones the spread out were the BH loads - pushing that 260 that hard might have set up some pretty tough barrel harmonics in the 45.
After shooting Scott's 12 conicals, i got down to some serious work... 180 Gold Dots and clay pigeons - then shooting the pieces of the broken birds - gosh! I love that.
I have also posted some picture of the breech are of the gun. I was shooting a NFPJ (modified). I am really getting spoiled shooting a clean Knight... I do not even want to go back to FPJ's...
Here you go Scott...
