Gettin em ready

[M T Pockets 000]

My hunting buddy came over and we did a lil target practice. Actually we're checking our Mz's for accuracy. Thankful we did because mine had been propped on a tree and got knocked off. It was shootin low and to the left. Made an adjustment and she's on now.

Well if you wanna know you're a dumbass, do what I did today.

Went to get my muzzleloader ready for deer season...got all the way to the range I am a member at (45 or so minutes away) to realize I brought powder and projectiles but no primers. Got home and realized I set then on top of the dresser while getting everything else ready.

Kicked myself in the ass for literally two hours.

Did a little shootin' myself Saturday early. I can't remember if I was using pyrodex or BH209 last year. I was all over the place with my shots. I finally loaded fresh loads and got a decent group with BH209. I still need to shoot more, just because.

Well I shot my cva wolf about 2 weeks ago and it was all over the place so replaced the nikon scope with a leupold 3hd still over the place guess the nikon scope is good. Called cva they said u could send it in take 4-6 weeks. I did learn something new the cva wolf and optima is not a 3 shot guarantee all they could do with my wolf is make sure everything is in speck. So I went out and bought a cva accura mxr I think that what it is and since it came with a blackhorn breech plug I got sneak blackhorn and primers and shooting 75gr by weight with a 250gr Barnes expander and I'm touched bullet holes so not to send in the wolf to see if I can get it fixed.

Can't hide money MUP.

I'm out of boolits now , having to wait on some of the cheapies to come in before I can shoot again! $8 per 20

 

[MUP]

Ahhhh yes, "out for delivery" should be there soon after I arrive home this afternoon.

Speaking of boolets. I have been using Parker Ballistic Extremes 451". They are what I was told to use in my CVA Hunter 45/70 conversion. Tried a few other boolets but they would get stuck or were too loose. My hunting buddy had some Hornady 451" XTP that his rifle just refused to shoot accurately. He said man I wish you could shoot these XTP I'd give em to you. Well we looked and 451" vs 451" so we loaded one up. It clipped the bulls eye. So.......I have an option now.

Got 5 rifles and 4 muzzys sighted in the last 2 weekends between my dad and I. It sure is a good feeling

 

[CHRIS WILSON]

Going to do a zero check this weekend on the Knight and probably the CVA. The Knight should still be good from last season. The CVA hasn't been shot in a while, so we'll see about it.

 

[wsm]

Shot my CVA MR Monday at 100 yards all four shots inside 2x2 sq. inch .

 

[Dully]

Only time I shoot my ml is at a deer,my son does the sighting in,good man

 

[CHRIS WILSON]

All I can say is the Knight was shooting on point this morning. Changed lot numbers of Blackhorn powder which called for a few tweaks on the scope but it was laying down some tight groups. Now, it's just waiting for next Saturday.

 

[DoubleRidge]

Shot and cleaned muzzleloader and rifle couple weeks ago...ready to go.

Our muzzle loader season ended last Sunday. I killed 3 with mine. I enjoyed muzzle loader hunting. I shot mine 2 days before season. Shooting a hornady 250gr sst bullet. With 84grs by weight of blackhorn. A 3 shot grouped measure 1/2 inch at 100. I am going to carry my muzzle loader during rifle season in my truck. Trapping season opens same day as gun deer season. I will be setting traps .

I have my TC Encode 50 cal barrel set out to install. Need to pull the 243 barrel off and verify sometime this week.

Been using a nail gun and screw gun too much trying to get some outside construction done before we are complaining about how cold it is instead of how warm it is...

Will be using BH and 240 gn Hornaday in sabots.

Going to try to have an AGM Desperado 12 gauge double pistol set up with 1 oz slugs/sabots for any deer that comes too close, especially on strong side. Probably goex ff for that one.

Loaded since last season, Shorty Forty is ready to go. 200yd zero

 

[Chiflyguy]

Dialed mine in last week.
Good when you make friends with the gunsmith down the road and he has 62 acres with a 100 yd rifle range.
Switched over to Hornady SST's 250 g
Pumped for Saturday

 

[muddyboots]

I've got to do that. They don't make stainless like they used to. Muzzle loading is more aggravating than it used to be. I swapped scopes around on everything so I have a full day of dialing in. Gonna do it Friday.
