Virginia ML'er season in the a.m.
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.
