I am ready for another range trip after my last one didn’t work out as well as I hoped
https://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/threads/groups-opening-on-third-shot.59214/
I have changed about everything from that trip: new scope and the correct mount, loose 777 FFFG, 777 209 primers and a very thorough cleaning.
Here is where I am trying to decide how I want to proceed. Over the past year or two I have collected a decent collection of bullets: BoreLok, Bore Driver, 240/300gr .430 XTP, 300gr .452 XTP, ELD-X and more. I’d love to be able to shoot XTPs but ultimately want the most accurate combo I can find.
My question is would you recommend I shoot a variety of bullets with a single 100gr load and see what’s the most accurate or would you do 80-110 gr ladder with the 240 and 300 XTP and hope one of them works out? I’ll probably only have time for 15-20 shots so 5-7 3 round groups to get an idea.
This is a hunting rifle only, I’d like to get to 200 yards with it for next season.
