Wow that's awesome Kyle. Still carrying ~2,500ft-lb at 1,000yd; pretty decent for a muzzleloader haha.

Kyle,
That is excellent!

This is only the 2nd time that I’ve shot these bullets. Recoil was really high the 1st time and also the same this time. I tried the same varget recipe I have been testing with 325,s and it’s really shooting well w the 325,s. i recently enlarged my powder chamber. I’m not sharing the load as it flattened my primers edge to edge so it’s likely too fast a powder for the 350,s. Extreme spread was 9 fps -average 2933 so it’s not screaming like others have tested. It did shoot a .180 group so it’s accurate. I was shooting from the bench off a Harris bipod with a leather rear bag. My gun weighs close to 17 lbs. I know my limits and may not be able to shoot this well off a bipod laying on the ground. But like Kyle’s other bullets - these will shoot tight.  And of course - the pic loaded sideways -lol. The group is actually 3.7” high and .3 left of where I’m aiming which is a 300 yard zero. |
