First range trip with the Ultra-lite

[Chris W.]

I'm on vacation this week, so got out early this morning with the new Ultra-lite to get it sighted in and start seeing what it likes. Today, I was shooting a .452, 265 gr Fury STB sized to .451 using a vege wad with 110 gr (by volume) of BH209 and CCI mag primers.

After initial sight in at 50 yards, I moved things out to 100 yards. All I can say is this rifle will shoot. 100 yards using the load data mentioned above.

After a little tweaking at 100 yards and a few more groups similar to the one above, I decided to use my last two 110 gr measured charges to see what it could do at 200 yards. I wasn't disappointed. Two shots within 2 inches of each other at 200 yards. The Burris scope I'm shooting has a ballistic reticle that I'm going to have to play with for POI but here I was seeing what kind of grouping I could squeeze out.

At this point, I had to get back to the house so I called it a day. I'll do a bit more load tweaking throughout the Summer and early Fall before muzzleloader season but right now, I'm pretty happy with what I'm seeing.

So sorry to see it’s not shooting well for you. Rather than see you get frustrated and your blood pressure gets high, I’ll take it off your hands. The problem with rifles like that is what excuse you going to use when you miss? Me, I always have a list in my pocket just in case.

Must be that brown stock that did it.

No reason it shouldn’t…
Congrats out of the gate.
