Clean vs Fouled Barrel POI
Near everyones rifle prints different with a clean barrel than when fouled. But my new 44-77 takes the cake. A squeaky clean barrel prints 7 inches left and 2-3 inches high at 100 yds. When its really feeling the oats its 6-7 inches high. Once fouled the load shoots 2-3 moa so far. Better eyes and a sturdier bench would sure help but I think this bullet may be a winner.

Them ole dead fellers could compensate on a buffler easy enough but when its a buck deer things get shrunk up a mite. My eyes won't let me make such an adjustment all that easy.

I don't have enough lead down the barrel to call it settled in but hoping it may eventually settle down a little with regard to reducing the extremes.

Federal 210
75 gr Goex Express compressed .250
Walters 060 op
1/8 spg cookie
Walters 060 wad
KAL 380 gr PP, .434 diam wrapped with Paper store onionskin 100% cotton

How do you deal with this in a hunting situation???
