Default Triple 7 revisited

I set off today to use up some Triple 7 2F in the TC Pro Hunter w/ .45 Bergara barrel. Here was some things I noticed today. Crud ring was really not that bad. I do not know if its because I have used no teflon products in this bore or if its because I always use Montana X-Treme Bore conditioner. I used Sabotloaders Windex patches but I did run one dry one after the Windex patch just to make sure the bore was dry. I left the gun broke up while I swabbed so I could hear the air flowing through the flash hole also. Here is a few 100yd targets from this morning with 100gr T7 2F and CCI primers. Harvester light blue sabots were used. Shooting was done off a Bulls bag front rest and Caldwell rear rest. I have been leaving the Lead Sled in the back of the truck lately. I'll probably break it back out for some 120gr loads out of the Green Mtn 54-120 soon.





OK, I had to shoot some Blackhorn 209 too....
100gr BH209, Fed209A primer, 200gr SST in light blue Harvester sabot. 100yds


It was brought up by someone that break open muzzleloaders will never compete with bolt action muzzleloaders. I guess I will have to wait until my .45 Elite is complete to find out. I did find a shop that carries Swiss and that is the next powder on my list to test.
