Dialing in my front sight
Finally got out today just to do a little filing on my new front sight. Its a thinner .050" german silver blade which helps my eye focus better than ever.
CVA Hawken .58cal
90gr Pyrodex Select
.018" pillow tick
.570 round balls
CCI regular #11 caps
No swabbing.
50 yards.
I was very happy with this one! Afterward I did the filing, got it to hit POI and then tried 110gr which put 2 out 3 shots into the same hole but caused my POI to drift a good deal to the right. I'm not going to get to crazy with filing or adjusting until my order of Olde Eynsford comes in.
first 6 patches recovered! Some light cutting as its a thinner patch than I normally use. Completely normal in this rifle.
