ML season soon, shot "the beast" today

[Wobblyshot1]

I had a little range time with my .58 caliber flinter today just to check sights and functioning. The 1st and 3rd shot are in there but I pulled the second a little high which I called...all offhand and iron sights at 25 yds. It was very windy today so I'll try 50 yds another day. My hunting load is 3 drams 2fg Goex and a patched .570 round ball. The patch was lubed with bear grease.

.58 calibers are cool huh. I've got a old H&R Huntsman in .58 cal.

Yes they are. That big ol round ball speaks with a lot of authority. I'll be the first to admit that its not for long range work but where I'm hunting long range is 60 yards.

A 58 caliber bullet makes a big hole! That would be fun to hunt with I'm sure!

The muzzle end is pretty impressive. The one deer I did kill with it collapsed in its tracks. That was at 30 yards. I'm really looking forward to some more field testing with it. Come on November!

I think you'll be dead on if you can get a deer to pose like that for you!

Only in your dreams...lol
