Sited in my Ruger No.1. After throwing some lead downrange, decided to finish my shooting session with a 3 round grouping. These are shots 31-33, so I was hot bore. Pretty pleased, especially with sighting it in propped over a truck bed. Eventually gonna get some Superior Ammo and put her on a sled, but this will do for hogs and deer in the meantime.

Feel free to post other range results on here, or any shooting drills yall like to do in preparation for safari

Nice group. I’m more impressed with 33 shots from a 458. Ouch

No kidding, I'm done shooting after 10 rounds.

Yeah after sighting her in I threw a blanket over my shoulder to run some 3 second drills, without that I would’ve been done for

Chronographed some loads from Superior. All shot pretty good groups, leaning for the Black loads. The Blue blew the primers out. All were loaded with North Fork Cup Point Solids.
Any insight on the experience with 450 grain against Buffalo would be appreciated
