yup thats a lot better. Enjoy the rifle and make sure you test out more bullets/caps/powders.
Using winchester primers?
No, I'm using Remington Clean Bores, They seem to work fine. I got a couple of cans of Pyrodex loose Rs to try out. I'm about 1.5 hours away from my in laws. I joined the sportsman club down there. We're headed down for Easter this weekend so I'll be packin my CVA along again and try some loose powder. It's been fun being my first ML and never having shot one before. Didn't know a thing about them until I joined this site, everyones been a great help getting me going. I'll get dialed in before deer season. I plan on getting a Nikon 2x7x32 and changing my scope out. I bought one already and liked it so much I put it on my1187 slug gun. We can start applying for deer permits on line starting at 8am in the morning here in Illinois. Thanks for you ecouragement.
Prediction. Once you hunt 1 year with a ML (and you already demonstrated your being diligent in sighting it in and finding proper load), you won't hunt with a slug gun any longer. ML are more accurate, more fun, shoot further and offer more challenge (single shot)than a slug gun. I hunt with one in NY during shotgun season. Chap Gleason
