Evil Roy Target
I'll be headed out this week, hoping for sunny dry weather to shoot my "Evil Roy" target I've been working on

He looks pretty evil alright. Probably deserves whatever he gets.

Evil Roy got his today
Here the first 5 shots using the new ACME 250-gr RNFP with 5.0 gr of Trail Boss Next I used the ACME 255-gr Keith style SWC over 5.8 gr of Trail Boss Next I used the ACME 255-gr Keith style SWC over 7.0 gr of Trail Boss, now mind you this is not published data Speer data shows 6.2 gr . Recoil was still mild and manageable, and empty cases showed no sign of pressure spiking like kicking out primers etc.

Looks like your gun and reloads shoot well J_B. Your sights on that thumb buster must be well regulated. It looks like it's shooting to POA. I've read that you can't get enough Trail Boss in the case to cause pressure problems. That stuff is pretty fluffy. I would think 7.0 grains would be a case full with the bullet seated.

Good shooting J.B. Evil Roy never had a chance.

I will say to Evil Roy's credit, the wind was blowing.... it looked like he flinched and was going to draw

Too bad for Evil Roy! I bet he was going for his gun.
