We all just new we needed to shoot well to beat his score. I read it later on MML, PM Doug apologizing that some incident with someone (don't know who) had occurred. He shrugged it off as it was his fault for shooting an overload and said next time he'd be at 120. I felt, he knew his hot load may have been part of the issue. Actually, it's those over MAX loads have been (and still are) the source of discussion pertaining to load safety on the range, which started last spring in the May Match.
So, 'the incident' seemed to be isolated to most likely a sidelock fan, considering there are only about 20-30 in-line shooters to 900+ sidelock shooter.
NRA/NMLRA: It will be the NMLRA as the NRA recognized them as authority in ML. Like anything new, there are growing pains and things never move as fast as one wants.
So, you drama queens from CNN, you're just showing your ignorance.
As Elmer Keith stated: 'Hell I was there'; and I know you were not.
When you start talking about drama you should read your own post's. On Modern Muzzleloader you said Barnes/Encore was talking to the board about this current ML shoot and if he could use the Ultimate. Like so what? He has every right to confirm he's within the rules. And on this board you brought up a possible over load that most people don't even know about in the nationals at the NRMLA?? Talk about CNN and fake news?? Your the perfect example of it all. Other then we were all talking about whats considered a production ML and custom ML. And we all have are opinions and differences. But you are obviously only interested in unneccasary gossip and being a real detriment to the ML shoots and the sport of Muzzleloading.
