I bought a Wolf last year and put a scope on it for my NM muzzy deer hunt. I had a hard time getting it to group good but ran out of time and ended up settling on 250 grain Hornady FTX bullets and TC mag express sabots both recommended by local gun shop. With 84 weighed grains of BH 209 I was getting 3 to 4 inch groups at 100yds. Luckily I only had to shoot my buck from 15 yds lol. I cleaned the Wolf put in my safe and hadn’t touched it until a couple months ago.
My wife drew a NM unit 15 muzzy bull tag this year and I wanted to find a more accurate load with a heavier bullet and maybe a little less recoil for her hunt. I tried 300 grain Hornady SST’s over 70 grains weighed of BH209 and got them to group 2” at 100 but when I found the bullets in the dirt hillside behind my target the jacket and core had completely separated on most of the ones I found. I decided to try 290 grain Barnes T EZ over the 70 of BH209 and after some scope adjustments I got3/4” group from 100 and 1-3/4” group from 200. I’m about 5 inches high at 100 and dead on at 150, my 2nd BDC dot is about 2-1/2” high at 200. Both of these groups were after cleaning the barrel and 2 foul shots. The foul shots weren’t planned, but my first two shots out of the clean barrel were 3” left and 4” right and then the next 3 surprised the heck out of me. Also after finding the T EZ’s in the dirt behind the target they had started to expand perfectly after passing through the pine 1X4 pallet my target was stapled to.
Hopefully I’ll have some pics of a bull elk to post on this thread in a couple weeks.
Here’s a pic of my buck from last year shot with my CVA wolf and my target from this past weekend 290 T EZ’s over 70 grains weighed(100 by volume) of blackthorn 209
