Thanks eldeguello,that 300 yd was with a savage ML,I haven't tried any other ML past 200yds but have gotten some pretty good groups at 200 with the encore and a knight 45 cal.
I did one time years ago make a long,long shot on an eleven point buck with a T/C senaca 45 cal that would make my savage look bad.It was more of an accident than skill,think the buck just wanted to die and just walked into the path of the bullet.
I did some horse trading back in the winter and came out with a knight 45 cal disc rifle,I need to start working on it pretty soon and see what it will do,I had one before got it to shooting some one hole groups and the first time I took it got a deer at 170 yds useing the 225 gr PB.The one I had before had a 1:20 twist but this one has a 1:30 twist.
Back in the 40's when I was a kid I saw some old fellows do some impressive shooting with their old flint locks.
