On Saturday I took the renegade flinter with factory barrel and LRH barrel to the range. Also took the Investarm sporterized hawken in .45, didn't get any pictures from the range session or of the new gun though. My brother in law came too and shot a muzzleloader for the first time and now plans to buy a flintlock to hunt in PA's late season.

I loaded the LRH barrel with 100 grains of ffg goex and a 300 grain .430 xtp mag and put the first shot 1/2"to the right ofthe bullseye at 50 yards. Next shot was 1" to the left of the first shot and the 3rd shot touched the 2nd shot. I was really happy with this performance after the last session left me pretty disappointed. My brother in law proceeded to shoot a 3 inch 3 shot group at 50 yards and this was his first time shooting a muzzleloader. We then put the factory barrel back on and shot a couple of 80 grain loads with a wonder wad and prb.

The Investarm sporterized hawken arrived last week at my parent's house. I was impressed with the fit and finish of this gun, it has a really pretty piece of wood on it. It's shorter than I expected with its 21" barrel. I loaded 60 grains of fffg goex, a wonder wad, and a 255 grain maxi hunter. Missed the target completely 2 times at 50 yards. Moved to25 and hit 4 inches low. Made an adjustment put two touching at 25 yards. We were pressed for time, I had to go to an engagement party for my little sister, so I let my brother in law shoot it twice and we packed everything up.
