All you Virginia boys, good luck in the morning. I'll be in my stand at o'dark thirty with the percussion .54 renegade or the traditions yukon.

I only had one range session (this past wednesday) with the .54 and my ticking was too thick, couldn't even start a ball. In fact, when I tried to force it, it got jammed in the muzzle and I had to employ the screw to pull it. Didn't have any other thinner patch material so I shot some 435 grain maxi-hunters I had in my bag. Started with 80 grains of FFg goex and a wonder wad and it was all over the target. Settled on 100 grains, a wad, and the maxi-hunters. Had hoped to use a prb for deer, but didn't get to work up a load.

The yukon will be stoked with a 300 grain .430 xtp in a crush rib sabot over 100 grains of pyro rs. Put 4 shots into 2" at 100 yards on Wednesday. This gun always impresses me.
