OK Guys,
I took my rifle now from the rack to see if I could see out of my scope at 6:20..no problem there.
BUT ..there is a problem...teh scout mount was loose. I tightened it up but I will have to go to the range .It;s opened till 5:00 PM on Wed.
With that in mind i'd love to covet my set up to 100 rrain as was suggested. The problem being ...the muzzle loader only allows me about 6 shots as everything starts tightening up ...you all know what i mean. Teh primers is tougher getting out ..Power Belts are tougher to push down the barrell.etc..
What do you all think
If I do go with the 100 grains. Would you all suggest I go 2 inches high dead center at fifty and ?? maybe dead center at 100yds..
The range is a fifty yd range..
Those very small car scent spray bottles filled with alcohol and/or plain Windex work great - and are easy to carry intravel pockets. So are several 2-1/2" to 3" patches. For range work-only, a medium-sized fishing tackle box is what I bring along - filled with everything I need/use most times ML-ing.
Like stated above by Catus, 30 grain pellets can help tweak your load... sometimes provide your load - like it does for him. Don't only depend on 50-grain pellets to get the job done. You may have to mix & match to get the best shot groups.
No one knows if 2" high at 50 yards will generate a bullseye at 100 yards for you. Only you & your gun have the say about that. These MLs are all different - unlike centerfire/shotgun world.... even the same make/models of the same caliber are different--each onehaving different DNA
... so-to-speak.
