Well, my deer season came to an end yesterday. I didn't kill a deer with my ML but have gotten a couple of hogs. As you may know I've been looking into a new scope for my gun. I may also change some other things. This may be a long post so I'm warning you.
First here is what I'm shooting now.
CVA Grey Wolf .50 Percussion
Pyrodex Select 90g
Powerbelt 245gr hollowpoint
OK, the CVA has a 1 in 32 twist. I use this gun on deer and hogs and even took a turkey with it last year. But mostly deer and hogs. Will I have better range and accuracy with sabots? Or is this a case of try it and see?
Also I shot American Pioneer for a while and had problems with accuracy after just a shot or two. I think the ad about thousands of shots without cleaning is BS. I liked how easy it was to clean. The pyrodex takes forever to clean. What other powder can I try that might shoot straight and clean fast?
I still have to figure out what to do about a scope. However the praise ya'll give to the Bushnell dawn to dusk may sway me.
Any advise on my setup and the best shooting combo of powder & projectile would be appreciated!
