Nice little shooter
 

Not bad at all. It was only 58 yards but that .45 cabelas hawken is living the life when i load up 80gr Pyrodex RS and a 225gr Powerbelt Aerotip.


It didnt do so well with the 275gr AT but i will try it next time with 80gr.

RE: Nice little shooter
 

that is pretty good shooting there MD.

RE: Nice little shooter
 

Nice shooting,i'd say the first one is a keeper.

RE: Nice little shooter
 

Nice MD. If you have any Pyrodex P you might want to give that a try. Start with 70 then 80 grs.
Butr you know Semisane would tell you not to shoot anything bigger than a ground squirrel with them Powerbelts.....:eek::D..hehehe

Now don't you go getting me into trouble Bronko. :D I've never shot PowerBelts, and(other than one joke) have never commented on them one way or another. Heck, I hunt a lot with a patched ball, so how could I criticize a heavier chunk of lead? We all know thatol` Devil has done his homework on PowerBelts and has the confidence to move up from ground squirrels to ground hogs. :D:D

RE: Nice little shooter
 

Maybe Semisane wants to try them with some BlackHorn 209... that would be interesting. :D:D MD have you ever shot BlackHorn 209...;)

All joking aside, hear anything about the Mustang yet?

RE: Nice little shooter
 

Nice shooting! Do you plan on seeing what it's got at a further distance?

RE: Nice little shooter
 

Nothing new. Dixon Muzzleloading said theysentit to Lyman (I assume to Middletown, CT) on Feb. 18th., so I don't expect to hear anything more foranother week or two. I'm sure glad the firing pin failed after the end ofhunting season and not when I pulled the trigger on the doe I shot with it.

Right now it's no big deal. I think I can findanother gun or two to shoot. :) I'm taking the .45 GM LRH Renegade and the X7 out for another shoot next week end. Bronko keeps telling me to try some Pyrodex P, so I bought some and will be giving it awork out in those guns.

Well i shot those 225s on accident! I thought they were 275s when i grabbed the pack and i kind of kicked myself in the butt because i only have 2 of them left. I do plan on trying 100 yards in the next day or 2. Today the 348gr powerbelts and the older blackbelts go on the range today. I wanted to compare the two as the blackbelt has a huge hollow point vs the powerbelt.

Ground squirrel!?!!! I'll have you know that the 225gr aerotip is one hell of a nasty deer kill'n bullet! Dont make me post that pic of the shoulder shot mule deer i got in '07 semisane :D. I know how much you love that one.

We should start a new thread about the "trophies" we've all taken in the past. Sometimes its a good thing to think back in the past and relive those memories.

Cayugad, I have not shot any blackhorn 209. I dont have any inlines at the moment. But i would like to shoot atleast one can of bh209 and powerbelts so i can get the load info available.
