Smokeless muzzeloader sight in day

[jman 125]

Been shooting at 100 sighted in 3 inches high. Shot today at 200 and tweaked it to the left a little dead on at 200 2.5 low at 300. May not even pick the centerfire up this year. I owe Andy S and Jlancer 500 a whole lot for the help. Super stand up guys thank yall.

Good shooting! Jerry's top notch guy. Got a couple of guns from him over the years, one of the best when it comes to smokeless.

I know AndyS is, too

I know one thing both of them reached out to me and talked me through the whole process from picking a gun to sight in and they didn't have to. Cant say enough good about them

That passes my accuracy test by far.

What kind of smokeless muzzleloader are you shooting?

I have a similar gun (cva apex) and was shooting 300 grain fury star tips as well. Similar accuracy results as well.
I shot all of one deer with those bullets and went to barnes. Approx 85 yard shot quartering away. No exit and very little to no blood trail. He only ran 60 yards down hill so recovery was fairly easy. Mind you this is a single data point but it was all I needed to switch to a different bullet. Others may have had stellar results with the original fury bullets. I think I saw where fury now makes a bonded bullet but I've been extremely happy with the Barnes. YMMV

These are the 2p bullets the website claims they are bonded. But like you if they dont perform i will change. I know of a couple people that shoot these and swear by them. Its amazing that i didn't even know they shot smokeless until we were talking and i mentioned having one now. Thank you for the advice it is appreciated

If I remember correctly, all startips in current production are bonded. It's hard to beat a 250 or 290 tez as long as your gun shoots them accurately. To shoot them sabotless, gotta have a fast twist and give them a real kick in the pants in order to obturate them into the grooves. In my 40 cals, I full form coppers.

I think the bonded would be the right choice. Their terminal performance has got to be better than the originals.

Goes to show how long ago I looked! I remember they came out with the bonded version shortly after I got my setup but was supplied with the originals.
I am blessed the TEZs fit my barrel like a glove and shoot well out of my rifle. My sizing die sits there looking for something to do.

Had a great hunt yesterday and this buck stepped out and went to work on a scrape 269 yrds 58.2 grain IMR 4198 wool wad and 300 gr fury star tip.
Absolutely leveled him .
Recovered the bullet and it stayed together well it weighed 295gr so far very pleased with the new smokeless. Thanks to everyone who helped me get this thing going.
