Lucrezia, my C. Sharps 50-90 went to work today at 200 yards. Bench rest using the 300 yard reduced target. Wiped with 1 damp and 1 dry. Humidity on the range was 80% and the light was pretty good. I used the load with 105 grains of Swiss 1 fg and a lube wad with the Accurate 50-590p. Flipped up the rear sight and shot with a 6 O'clock hold on the black. First shot cold bore a 6 at 11 followed by a 6 at 12. Next 2 shots were misses over the top. Next shots using a line of white and shot a 5 at 9 and a 8 at 11. Put the ladder down and wiggled the rear sight a bit to the right and shot 6 O'clock and a 5 and 2 6's in the white at 6 O'clock. Held up a full blade into the black and started printing in the black. Shot a 8 at 7:30 a 7 at 5:30 and inside 8 at 6. Held half the black and 9 at 5 and a 8 at 6. Then a inside 9 at 5 and a outside 10 at 5 10 at 5 and inside 10 at 3. Last one I mucked up and pulled it out into the 7 ring at 2:30. With a bit of practice I believe I can shoot 50 and 100 yards burying the blade in the notch for impacts a bit high close and just above the front at 100. Full blade in the notch held center of the target and good hits at 200. The bottom notch of the ladder is still a little high so will have to file that down and clean up the notch. I am going to switch from a slot to a shallow V for a sharper sight picture. The "Big Fifty" seems to shoot pretty flat out to 200 yards and will put her on steel next season. Working with this load and another using the BACO 625 grain Creedmoor Lucrezia is really going to be "Pure Poison for sure!!
