I've been shooting the Trapper every week lately. At one point I was getting kinda discouraged as my groups were opening up quite a bit. Then I had something happen that moved the gas out of my brain and realized I was shooting targets using the "ghost ring" and my eyes were no longer seeing things the way they should.
So I screwed the small aperture into the Williams Fool-Proof sight and suddenly I can see the sights AND the target! AMAZING!
I got a good buy on Sierra 170 gr. JFP bullets (can't find my preferred ones right now for some reason ) and was working up some loads with them today.

They do show promise!
Man it is nice to see the sights and the target!

Man that makes me want to get mine out and take it out for a spin! I can't remember what kind of groups I got on paper. Obviously the data blank needs filling!

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
My favorite loads are with the Speer 130 gr. Hot Cor JFP. My load runs an honest 2400 fps + and is accurate. I have taken big deer with it and find it works very well. HOWEVER ... there seems to be a plug in the pipeline that delivers them since I cannot find any at the moment. So I am saving what I have. I was able to buy a supply of the Sierra 170's and having never used them, I have been testing different loads.
I have some cast bullet loads that shoot nice and are fun to play with, though I am gonna have to start casting again as my supply is short. Thankfully I have the lead to cast them.
Apart from a few cat sneeze loads I only used factory 170 and 150 gr in my Carbine, would love to experiment now I'm retired and too much time on my hands.
