[QUOTE="17Tactical, post: 459136, member: 29227"] [Meatyrem; Thanks for the information. To answer some of your questions. I have tried PowerBelt 290gr BT, 305 BT and Hornaday 300gr and 350br FPB bullets with the same results. I have a Zeiss Conquest 4-12 scope of the encore prohunter. When I started using Blackhorn 209 I began with 100gr and worked up to 120gr. I have checked the mounts and they are tight. I also realized that the barrel could heat up so I tried letting cool; I tried cleaning between each shot; both with the same results. If I cleaned the barrel between shots I got a 6" average group at 100 yards. When I let the barrel cool (approx. 5 min. between shots) I still got the 6" group. The 3 shot groups get tighter when I do not clean between shots and I reload without delay. Barrel will get warm to the touch and I alway stop before the barrel heats up too much.
