Dusted off the smoke Pole

Post by Oldbrass » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:20 pm

Also took the muzzle loader out today to verify zero. CVA Optima V2 with a williams peep ( scopes illegal in washington) she's still minute of Elk @100 yards . 300gr Hornady XTP/sabot. 100gr triple 7 and a musket cap. I cheated and used a bipod.

Great shooting indeed! You did about the same at 100 as I did at 25 yesterday.

Nicely done, all the more so with an ML and peep sight.

Our early ML season is this weekend. I dialed mine in a few weeks ago. Traditions Vortek, 110gr Goex FFg, 240gr Hornady XTP Mag. Unlike OP, we're allowed to have scopes here, which is a good thing for my old eyes. Shot this group, gave it 2 clicks left and called it good.

Cold front coming thru tonight, first frost in the morning. It should be an excellent weekend in the woods.

Yep! good shooting indeed. I'd do well to see the target at 100 yds with a peep.
