Re: chapuis utility grade?

Those were Hornady 300gr RN InterLocks, and as soon as I can get some InterBonds, I'm hoping to find that they shoot as well as the InterLocks.

I was looking for a $0.30/bullet (vs. the $1.00 premiums) to plink around with. The gun was regulated with Woodleighs, so I chose the Hornady RN which has a more relative profile to the Woodleighs than a spire-point.

I've also tried 330gr cast bullets up to about 2200/fps, and although the barrels individually group well - they are about 4" low and 5" apart at 50yds. One would think they would goup higher, but slow bullets in this gun start low and apart and move up and converge as speed increases.

My regular range doesn't have 200 or 300 yard targets, but another local range does, and you are correct - I do need to get out there and give it a try.

I used to shoot archery quite a bit and always found that if I practiced regularly at 50-60 yards, it really made those 30&40 yard shots a lot easier. I think the same logic could definitely be applied to a double - or any shooting for that matter.
