So finally rounded up all of my components, settled in on a load and had an opportunity to do some field testing with the new rifle. This is a wildcat cartridge, that falls within Indiana legal requirements.
100 yards
.5" (you can put them in the same hole)
150 yards -2.0"
200 yards - 8.5"
250 yards - 16.5"
300 yards -29"
Groups remained pretty tight even at the longest ranges, however she is running out of gas fast.
Looks to me like this is going to be a sweet rifle, and so long as I have my laser range finder on hand, 250 yards shots should not be a problem.
Beats the heck out of any shotgun or muzzle loader in a lot of respects, and recoil isn't bad at all.
Looking forward to stacking up some venison with this rig.
