Lehigh 40x200XP from a 1-28 Twist
« on: March 06, 2015, 01:52:13 PM »
Gosh! I hate reporting this but since the other day I said Yea and today I need to say Nea! I best tell you what I have found.

Late in Feb - I shot the 40x200 in a 1-28 at 60 yards and all looked very good...

Wednesday I returned to the farm with the same Elite 50 cal. using the same powder load and sabot.  The difference was I was now shooting @ 150 yards.  The target at 150 showed some de-stabilization.  I really wanted to think it was just me.  Friday, today I returned to the farm set the target at 170+ yards.

These are pictures of todays result...



I can no longer claim success with the 40x200XP, but as soon as Lehigh runs the shorter 40x185 - the 1-28 shooters will be in like flint...

Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!
