Hey Don

RE: Hey Don
Well I took the new CPA .45-2.4 to Lodi to see what it will do. It shot better then I expected for a not proven rifle and load and brass that was cut down .44-75 cases cut to 2.408" and expanded to hold a .451" bullet.
I used 85 gr of 1.5 swiss compressed to .250" with two plastic wads and a 1/8" lube wad and I used a 513 gr prolate bullet patched to .451" and a Wolf LRP. This is the first swiss I shot in many years,
For a thrown together load in a new rifle it shot better then I expected.
a 1000 ag I shot a 142-2, 900 120, 800 162-2. not the best but a good start.
I had 5 shots that went in the dirt ahead of the pit from fat fingering. This trigger is so soft that just feeling it will set it off. I tried to tighten it but the set screw is set in red locktite and I had to wait till I got home to stick a allen wrench in it and heat it up to soften the red so I can turn the screw.
Now to get the rest of the 44 cases cut down and fired at least once to get ready for Baker and the Q. and shoot some ladder loads for a working load. Maybe I can make the top 10 Big Grin
