RE: T/C Scout Conical loads
Pittsburghunter, In the past Pyrodex was what we used. To tell you the truth the powder I was using has been in my reloading bench for at least 10 years. I've been told that there is a new powder by the name of Tripple 7 and that it cleans up really good. I've been bow hunting (big game) for the last 8 years , so I'm a little behind on whats avalible now for smoke poles.
Whats the word on this new powder tripple 7 ?
I've got some 370gn maxi-ball that I'm going to try next. I'll also try the 270 Buffalo bullets that Triple Se7en mentioned.
As for the open sights , thats all they will let us use in Oregon. I should say though , I shot that from the prone position and I fire thousands of rounds a year through many different weapon systems confiqurations and at ranges to a 1000yrds. I just hope my eyes will hold out for a few more years as the open sights are getting a little fuzzy. I'm spoiled with tactical systems and milldots
