crkennedy1,

I tried out my new Searcy Field Grade .450 NE over the weekend as well. I fired 10 rounds using a standing rest comprised of a sandbag on top of a camera tripod. A second tripod, located 10 feet forward, held my chronograph.

Firing 6 Hornady DGX and 4 Hornady DGS factory loads resulted in a mean velocity of 2,116 fps. My rifle has 26" bbls. The Hornady box claims 2,150 fps in a 28" bbl.

The 10 rounds were within a 2" x 2" area. Accuracy will improve as I get used to the rifle.

Impact was 1 1/2" left and 2" high. I may be holding the bead too high in the Vee to see it better. I will move the rear sight 0.015" to the right before testing again.

Butch is going to send me a blank rear sight (no Vee cut) so I can try out an idea of mine. If the idea seems to have merit, I'll post the results and procedures.

--------------------
Use a double rifle. It just feels better.
