I got out today with the TC New ENglander. Just a perfect day.Mix of sun and clouds and 53 degrees with little or no wind.Too perfect I think,the range was pretty crowded.Lots of centerfires and only one other MZ. New guy to MZ,shooting a real nice Thumhole Omega.I planned on shooting Round ball only,but I had a few .44/240 XTP's that will not load in the Omega without a hammer.I was really surprised how well they shot. Shooting at clay birds on the bank at 120 yds.I was hitting high at 50 yds,and even higher at 120 using 90gr BM3.At 90 gr I don't get the blowby on the sabot that I seem to get with 110gr.I put about 25 shots inside a 6" circle,which is about as good as it gets with open sights.My old eyes really need a scoped rifle. I got to the range and found I had forgotten to bring a patch jag,so I just shot.If it got a little hard to load,I put in a Patched RB with TC prelubed patch.It seemed to work out well. Got home and clean up only took 15 minutes. Really like BM3 for cleaning.
