Headed out to my hunting clubs range today with my new GPR hunter. I probably shot three quarters of a pound of powder. 3f Goex to be exact. I fired loads of 80,90, and 100grs. I tried the Buffalo bullet 375gr sabot. I swabbed between shots. The range was 50yds. This combination loaded pretty easy, maybe too easy. To say the least I was not happy with accuracy. ???I figured with the 1:32 twist barrel it might shoot well. I guess I'll need some more range time. I'm thinking I'll try some 2f Goex and maybe some Pyrodex. Greg F.

3fg Goex is fine. I would consider the 348 grain Powerbelt Aerotips. Very friendly bullet to fast twisters but a lil pricey. Also, the below is a good bullet/load for fast twisters. About the most economical way to go. My favorite in my 1-28 bbl RMC Accusporter.

I increased my powder charge to 110grs of 3F goex with the Buffalo Bullets 375gr sabot and it shrunk the group size. I also shot the 348gr Power Belt as you suggested. I pulled one shot,the last, but I had a good group going with it. I'll shoot more later this week. I think it might be coming together.
