Had a couple of issues this week. I can shoot 25 and 50 yards in my yard. Nice groups with both Thor (0.501) and ELDX's with both Blackhorn 209 and Triple 7 with my Accura MRX 50 open sights. Used up about 3/4 of one of my bottle of Blackhorn getting everything set.
Went to the range and the Thor's shot awful at 100 yards with both 100 and 120 grains/v of Blackhorn. The ELDX's shot erratically. Used up the rest of my bottle and into the last bottle of Blackhorn I have.
Thoroughly cleaned the gun. Set up at 25 and 50 yards. Switched to Triple 7 as I only have about 1/2 bottle of Blackhorn left, ugggg.
Per ElDiablilto I was hoping to use Thors for my elk hunt. So with the clean gun went to load a Thor and it wouldn't go in 1/2 inch had to hammer it out. Next one shot fine, then another one got stuck. This is the 4th or 5th one from the last 2 packages. Gave up on them. Do not have a sizing jig.
Went to the ELDX's. I have a Muzzle Loaders muzzle break and took 3 shots which were okay at 25 yards then decided to take off the break. Groups tightened up. These are pics of the plastic base with muzzle break on and off. Hmmm looks like the break is causing issues. Send the pics and had a good discussion with Coulton at Muzzle Loader, they have never seen this. So shot at 25 and 50 yards without the break and groups were very consistent.
Now back to the range to see if my 100 yard groups are okay with the ELDx's.
