Had a similar experience about 20 years ago hunting from the ground. Was using pyrodex pellets back then though. Last 15mins of last day of MZ season - big buck didn't show up but does kept streaming into the food plot! Original T/C Encore .50calI've been using BH209 and Barnes T-EZ 250 & 290gr with the supplied blue sabot. I shoot a clean bore each shot. Usually takes a couple patches sprayed with T/C cleaner and then a couple dry patch before I load the next bullet. I do this for zero and grouping. In the stand, if I need a follow up shot, I will just load another and shoot. One year I shot 3 deer within 6 mins and I was a circus act in the stand loading between each deer that seemed to come every couple minutes. LOL.
