[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 6499, member: 25"] Frank, Excuse me for that, I totally miss-read your post. Did not go to the link... Shot in extreme heat today (97F), tested a prototype muzzleloader bullet for a company to see how far it will stay stable out to. Had a 2.65" three shot group at two hundred yards, guess it was flying fairly well. Wind was gusting, around 20 at full value but these bullets did not drift much, only about 5" at 200. Huge difference in how hot the barrels get and stay during a calm day vs a windy hot day. Also shot some test-loads with our .308's and 155 Comp. Supremes - not a great idea to have the spit pounded out of you by a light muzzleloader loaded with a 300 grain bullet and 150 grains of Pyrodex, then try to shoot the heavy .308's with decent accuracy. Best group with my ROCK went four shots into 0.292" at 100 yards - 2887fps, think I will stay with that one. 47 Varget with the 155 Nosler at 2.830" in Win. brass&primer. [/QUOTE]
