Default Happy with my new accura

I got my new accura out for the first time today. It took two shots to get it dialed in, then I shot a three shot group. The three shot group was at 100 yards shooting 110 grains of T7 ffg, a 200 grain shockwave and a winchester T7 primer. The group is 1.1 inches center to center. Not bad for my first time out and a rather warm 90+ degree day and pretty windy.

The lower hole was shot #3. The barrel was getting pretty warm by then so that might have had something to do with it. Kinda hard to keep the barrel from getting hot when its 95 and sunny.

Yeah Im pleased so far, specaily for being my first muzzleloader. Hopefuly Ill get some time to actualy play with it some, but first impressions sure seem good. I cant complain about the price either. Gandermountain had them on sale through their website for $374.99 for the camo thumbhole with stainless barrel.

Great shooting! I can't say I've ever shot that good my first time out with a rifle...
