This rates another  8)
What I like to do is to start working in some practice sessions from the sitting position but still shooting off hand. My (doghouse) type of blind makes the (offhand) instead of the (rested) position nessary and I have shot out
Of every window (cept the back one) in that thing. ;D ;D ;D

That's weird, they issued my first tag for ferne clyffe state park and refunded my second tag for the same park. At least I got the one and both of my muzzle loader tags for wayne county went through also. ;D

I will be using 15.0gr of IMR 4227, and a Hornady 180gr solid point. In my first outting, it was printing about 1.5" 5 shot grouping at a 100 yards.

I have gone to a lower grain bullet.  I had difficulty trying to push 150 gr with H110 it was a lob vs a flat shooter.  Went to 130 Gr Remington.  Haven't shot it much.

i have not been able to check the speed. i don't have the equipment, but usually there is someone at the range i go to has one set up and i usually can ask to shoot a few rounds through the traps and check the speed. Before i bought the dees for the Whisper, i had used ammo from Cor Bon and seemed to really scream.
