ORIGINAL: 4 Buck
Just put a new vx-11 on my knight and was wanting to know what would be the easiest way to sight it in without spending all day at the range. Pretty new to black powder(pretty much dont know anything about them). Do i need to clean the barrel/breech plugevery shot or every other till i get close on paper.
Doubt it makes a diff. but i will be shooting hornady sst 250 gr. with 2 pellets
O ya i dont have a bore sighter....
If you have a rifle rest, that will do. If you don't a simple cardboard box works fine. Cut a V in opposite sides of the box. Set the box in a manner where you can look through the bore of the rifle at something approximately 13 yards away. Usually a living room or hall way works fine. Put a spot on the wall and them move the sight to that spot. That should put you on paper at 13 yards. The rest is just a matter of sighting in your rifle like normal.
You only need to swab the barrel between shots. You do not have to remove the breech plug. Just swab the barrel between shots and give it a final cleaning at the end of the day.
