Well, I finally shot my T/C, Triumph B.C. today.
This gun shot very well.
Powder used Blackhorn 209
Primer used CCI-209
Bullets used, Powerbelts, Barnes Tipped MZ and Barnes Spit-Fire T-EZ
Blackhorn 209 is the only powder I used today.
Powerbelts were used first. 348 grain bullet. The group was 1 1/2 inch at 100 yards. This is about how my Knight would shoot these bullets.
I was using 100 grains of powder with this load.
Then I used the Barnes Tipped MZ 250 grain bullets. These bullets shot a bit tighter than the Powerbelts. I could get a, 1 inch group with these bullets. My gun, must have a tight bore or I was, use to using them Powerbelt bullets. I had to work at seating them down the bore.
I used 100 grains of powder with this load.
Lastly I tried, Barnes Spit-Fire T-EZ 250 grain bullets.
This bullet is a hole lot nicer to load.
I used 110 grains of powder with this load.
This load and my gun are like peanut butter and Jelly. They worked real well together.
I shot a .310 inch group with it. That will make you smile with a new smoke-pole.
I will continue to use Blackhorn 209 powder. It seams to work just fine for me.
I will also try the 290 grain tipped EZ load Spit-fire bullets.
I have other bullets to try with this new gun, like Nosler and Hornady.
Here are a few pictures from today.
This is my new gun.
Here is a picture of the .310 inch group.
Stuff on the tailgate. Just some things you might need while out shooting your front stuffer.
I hope you all have a good day. I did.
