Traditions Buckstalker XT session

[FrontierGander]

Back out today in the horrible heat!

Traditions Buckstalker XT at 50 yards today.

That big glob of a fiber optic sight really limits any true target shooting ability.

70gr Schuetzen 2fg, 385gr Hornady great plains bullets. I recovered 2 out of 3.

1st shot on a fully clean bore was out a little bit. Next 2 on a stabbed between shots bore, over lapping!

Recovered bullets looked awesome

I was aiming in the middle of the black, so she's hitting a little low.

I also tested powerbelts but will report that later.

On this test, I used both, Schuetzen and Blackhorn209.

On a fully clean bore, the first shots on a clean bore were off. Schuetzen, had the worst spread on the first shots being off. The next shots however, were pretty darn decent. All were swabbed between shots.

90gr Scheutzen 50 yards, 270gr Powerbelt Platinum


90gr Blackhorn209, first shot on a fully clean bore, to the left a bit. Greatly reduced the first clean bore shot vs the schuetzen powder.


I recovered the first 3 bullets with the Shuetzen charge. I did not recover them when I used 90gr blackhorn209. They were either driven deeper into the dirt, or more than likely, exploded due to the extra velocity that bh209 provided.
