[QUOTE="TomYoung, post: 511551, member: 14523"] FrontierGander, Kudos on the tag draw. Good luck on your hunt. I plan to go on the LR mule deer hunt that Len Bachus set up with Mule Creek Outfitters in WY Region H. Supposed to be a sure thing to draw with 4 pts. Unfortunately all the groups I mentioned are with the scope. I have the peep ready to install, but thought I'd do all my load development with the scope to take out the additional variability attributable to open sights. I bought 6- 10 oz bottles of Black Mag XP in 12/09 to get a volume discount, but also bought one bottle of Blackhorn 209. In the only range work I've done with the BM, I got a lot of velocity variation. Did a test weighing ten samples 100 gr by volume and found about 4% variabilty in the weight. From memory, (can't get to my spreadsheet now that I've started this post) 100 grains by voulme equaled 113 by weight. Might better check this again. Plan to get some of the Magnum CCI's. Part of the read on BH is that it needs a hot primer..............T7 type not hot enough. Great groups you show there. Not sure my Knight is capable of that. I've shot 4''groups at 800 yards with the LR gun member eddybo built for me so I know that on a calm day I can achieve that. Thanks for the help.:) Tom [/QUOTE]
