Default RE: Traditions Deer Hunter .50 cal thoughts

Yeah i understand that. The first time i shot that 1 1/2" group, that afternood i was shooting and couldnt get better than 8" groups at 50 yards! Turns out, when i got back inside i noticed the temp was 98* in the shade! It was well over 100* where i was shooting out in the open sun. My patchs were nothing but grease and oil. Later in theevening when it cooled into the mid 70's, i shot that 1 1/2" groups @ 100. Talk about being happy lol. If i ever have to hunt in the 90* weather i'll use dry patchs. Even my know it all brother in law can get great groups with my rifle. Im just having a hard time getting him to grow some balla's and take it muzzleloading lol. He enjoys my inline but i am having a hard time breakinghim from bouncing the ramrod on the bullet when its seated. That and him liking to use a hammer to adjust my sight when i forget the tool [:@].. But anyways, sorry to hijack your post Sierra!
