As you can see, POI was a hair right of the loads I used in it last year.  Pretty good pattern, so I may rezero for this.

Yeah Jody, it started getting warm out, so I had to get out of rifle mode for a bit. I haven't started scratching or gobbling yet, but it wont be long :D

BTW I bedded the LSS this week and hope to shoot it soon. The 100TTSX load at 3670fps avg MV oughta sting the deer a wee bit :D

Have a good one,

I like it.  I'm a big fan of the 1187, but I wanted to get a lighter weight auto.  My previous 1187s have weighed in around 8lbs. This one only weighed 7lbs 8oz on my scale, I can live with that.  It tames recoil better than any of my other turkey rigs and patterns fairly well.  I mounted a Fast Fire on it a couple years back and it's become one of my favorites. 

For factory ammo, the H13 3-2-6s gave me good patterns in the 190-210 range through a IC BDS.  Never tried the h13 7s in it.  I did try the h13 3.5-2.25-6s in it through a JH665 and the ICBDS, but only got patterns in the 170 range.  If you don't like the trigger pull, drop a Patriot sear spring in for a pull around 2.5-3.5lbs.


Have a good one,

Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
George Washington didn't use his freedom of speech to defeat the British, he shot them.
