I was able to try the loads supplied with the gun yesterday and they look to be much too fast for this gun. They are Armbrust loads said to be made up specifically for this gun although the previous owner never tried them.
I figured I would have a go at 25yds to see how they looked prior to running out to 50 or 100yds.
The shots crossed by about 7 inches even at that range!
So, my options look to be: going to a lighter load or putting the old gal away to focus on shooting something else.
I unfortunately don't have a chronograph - I know, I do need one - but the remaining loads I have are NOT going through my Evans so the velocity of those is irrelevant.
Suggestions?
The small holes are from a .45...
