trick or treat
went to the range today.
65 to 70 degrees
clear skies
WINDS 15 to 20mph gust up to 30mph. fun again.
50yards.
forgot (lost when I got home to look for it) my powder measure, so I went to buy one, got an knight one at an little iga. I think it is an pos. went to walmart an picked up an TC clear measure. on top of that some guy told me i could not kill anything with 240gr bullet push with anything under 150gr off any powder and pellets where the only way to go and I waste my money buying loose. I finally turned to me and said i only 4 muzzleloaders if I shooting nothing but pellets I would be broke . pissed me and another guy off. got an quick look in his box two 100 packs of 45/50 pellets and he is shooting 3 pellets per shots.
sorry vent.
any way.

Hey Corey, I really don't think those 200 grain Shockwaves are a good bullet choice for a clean kill on paper pumpkins. I would switch to big heavy conicals for those suckers. They're tough.
