huntinguide Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 alright ive got a 460 SW that ive decided too hang on to, anyway heres the question. It will shoot 45, 454, 460; ive got some Buffalo Bore 45LC 325 gr that i was shooting. Ive got my 460's shooting lights out at about 75 yards, im talkin 1-2 inch groups, but when i shoot the 45LC they shoot like 20 inches high great groups but high. The 45's are moving conciderably slower that the 460's but they shoot high. Is this something that can be explained that i just dont know about, help me understand this. thanks shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddpipkin Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 The lower velocity means the bullet stays in the barrel longer, giving more time for the muzzle to rise in recoil before the bullet leaves the muzzle. It HAS to go high. Completely normal in that situation. You have to adjust your sights, or modify your aiming point, to hit with that load. Or, you must increase the velocity to hit where your sights are currently set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
