RE: Old E - Lumpy Grits - 09-01-2015
Great day on the range.
0-2 mph wind at my back. Temps start'd at 49* and was 72* when we left. R/H ran from 36% to 19%. Range is 4K'(asl).
Looks like it's a toss up between the 83gn and the 85gn load of 2F, for the .45-90. Will load 83, 84, & 85gns this next batch.
The 2F, 'E' shot to the same(+/- 1moa)POI as my sight settings for the 3F Goex load out to 500 yds.
The 1 1/2 shot OK-Just that the 2F shot so much better is all.
2F 'E' has less smoke than Goex-But there's no question it's BP
Doesn't stink like Goex does either
Very pleased, and only used BT for fouling control.
More test'n next week.

Gary, I think you are going to like that OE! It's sure working well for me in the 50 70, 45 70 and 45 90 with both greaser's and paper patch loadings. Between OE and KIK 2fg my bases seem to be covered!!!

Careful Gary you could get hooked on the stuff

Between OE and KIK 2fg my bases seem to be covered!!!This I think also-between BPCR and cowboy action(SASS). Think 2F "E" will do it all very well.
