Bulldog slug accuracy - Nosler vs NSA

[PCPhack]

285 FPE tune
.3" porting
JSAR valve
Bag rested
75 yards
Bottle tethered
DonnyFl Emperor v2 LDC

[PCPhack]

145gr Nosler

[PCPhack]

142gr NSA

The results at 35 yards were the same with the Noslers better by a very tiny amount. I also shot Air Venturi slugs at 35 yards, but they were much worse.

Overall, I am not really satisfied yet with accuracy. It's shooting 2 MOA at 35 yards and then opens up to 3 MOA at 75 yards.

Both of those bullets should shoot better than that.

[PCPhack]

I might need more time with the gun. After all this I hit a golf ball dead center at 75 yards on my first try, so figure that out.  Maybe luck, or I was more relaxed after testing a lot..difficult to say.

I was tethered for all the tests.

I believe you! Yours are also much better priced, so I will still use NSA slugs, as they were very very close to each other anyway.

[PCPhack]

Now that I am home and sitting here thinking about it, I am curious if the DonnyFl Emperor LDC that I had on it was having a negative impact. I will have to reshoot without it on.

[nielsenammo]

I own a couple of Bulldogs and at 50 yards both of those slugs are ragged hole.  My 142 can shoot around moa if I choose my best group of the day at 100 yards.

[PCPhack]

Thanks Nick. I am anxious to reshoot without the LDC and see what happens.

Are your Bulkdogs stock? Can you share what speed you normally shoot the 142gr at?

[nielsenammo]

One has a slight tune but basically stock.  I don't remember what speed I shot them at.  In the Bulldog I shoot the 110 grain and the 142.  Those picture looks like it could be clipping because the accuracy is poor at very close range.  Can you see any strikes in the LDC?

[PCPhack]

I checked it. No strikes at all.

I usually run one size larger DonnyFL Moderator than the caliber I am shooting to prevent POI shift between shooting with it on the gun and off the gun. My current Emperor is a shared unit between my Bulldogs and my .457 Texan.

Mine is actually the big .50 sized one, as I was originally considering the Texan or upcoming Hammer.

Ah David I see we not only live in the same state but think somewhat alike in some areas. 
I get 2" groups with Nicks 95 grain swaged hollow point at 100 yards with my Bulldog.
Have not ordered any heavier ones yet to try out.

[PCPhack]

I will also try shooting them dry. These tests I had all slugs lubed with FP10, out of habbit. I would think that would help more than hurt though.

[nielsenammo]

The 95 are not the best in the Bulldog.  The 110 and the 142 are for the Bulldogs, the other rounds are just OK in the gun

With the mods I have done, the 95 grain would be almost supersonic. 

[T3PRanch]

Yea I shoot them in a "stock" Bulldog not the other one with my JSAR Valve!

I can tell you I often can’t shoot groups. I have messed with my peep sight 392 and “it” was grouping poorly. So I center punched the same hole already in an Ace of Spades playing card at 17yards, and center punched a jackoranda seed pod at 22yards.

I just start to lose concentration shooting groups.
