Man after shooting my Knight Peregrine and then stepping in the way back and shooting my T/C Hawken 54 I was in for a surprise. Surprise, surprise, surprise as Gomer used to say, anyway I shot some 425 gr cast and although they grouped sort of, 4-5" and 8"-12" low with my favorite charge of 90 gr. Goex I thought hmm, so I tried my most favorite load with a .535 RB with a .010 pillow tick patch and that went 12-14" high at the same distance. Darn near got a cleaning patch stuck and ended my range session but I got it pulled. Forget how dirty the black stuff is after shooting Blackhorn. Lesson learned increase the powder charge and shoot my 54 more. But aint it fun anyway?
