Ya Dave I never questioned the barrel or the plug. I have full confidence in them, but I was a little unsure on my handy work to the breech plug mod I did..... ;D ;D. I have a buddy that had a plug built for his old encore blackpowder that shoots cut off .308 cases. He has a savage now and said I can try out this plug. we will see how it works.

Drop, The guy that is sending me my plug had It built a long time back by a machinist he use to work with and he's retired now, He only had one made. The recoil is good on mine. I had some blow back with the cci's but then went to the winchester's and had very little blow back. I got a firing pin bushing shim kit from bellm and once I get the head spacing perfect. I think it will all be gone.

Here is a pic of the first group ever shot with the new DD Pacnor 209X45 bullberry Encore barrel . Shot it 8 times today. The bottom 2 holes were part of getting it sighted in. Top 3 was all the same scope adjustment. It was at 100yd (HOT) 87* little windy. I was shooting 60g 4198 and blue harvester and 200g SST. I know It will do better but just getting started. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I may go out just before dark when it cools down a bit and try some more with 62g 4198. |
