Had some range time today and took my Hawken Woodsman to the range.
Groups are getting smaller compared to a couple of months ago.
Been testing some different loads but my Hawken likes the 26gn of Pyrodex P best.
I did change some other things though.
In stead of the 0.01" pre lubed patches I use 0.015" patches now and lube them with a mixture of Nivea skin creame and Ballistol.
I also found out that I have to apply less pressure on the load.
After applying less pressure the group shifted to the left.
I'm real happy with today's result.
Some load data and of course a picture of today's target.
