Wolverine and NE conicals
 

Went out today with the .50 cal wolverine and No excuse .460 gr conicals. the .503 NE conicals load vary nice in this rifle, they seem to be a good fit.i am still going to slug the bore and order Bullshops at a later date. BS conicals are less expensive.i started out using 70 gr pyrodex after foulng the barrel with 3 caps, first 2 shots at 5 o clock.adjusted the peep sight up and took 3 more shots 3-4 o clock.adjusted the peep to raise POI,increased powder to .75 gr 3 shot(2 touching in red) 3rd below first 2 my error.if i would have did my part that should have been a 3 shot group all touching. rifle has a NECG peep sight mounted on it. took some getting used to. sorry the picture have to be opened, i don't know how to post pictures well. i am also going to give shot cards a try and see if they increase accuracy. overall i think this rifle and bullet combo has the potential to be extremely accurate and it was a lot of fun.Ray http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q...ginMF1/target/

nice shooting.

Copy the IMG Code next time instead and the pic will show up without having to click on any link.

On the last 3 shots i moved the POI over not up lol.getting used to the peep is a big factor.. IMG code?

Like this lol?

Is that the big 12" target with 3" orange bulls eye or the smaller 8" target?

it's the 12" and 3", i also have the 8" version. this was my last 12", that is why i have holes covered on it. i used this same target last time out. Ray

that is some good shooting. I will have to try them in my Wolverines next time I shoot. The only difference I will do is use Triple Seven 2f in the rifle. I like that powder when I shoot conicals.

Target was at 50 yds no wad or shot card. i did lightly damp swab once between shots.i am going to try 777 loose after i buy some shot cards. been shooting a scope for so long the peep sight took a little getting used to.accuracy also seemed better with 75 gr pyrodex vs 70.the more i shot the more comfortable i was.next time out i will raise the POI some and then out to 100 yds lol.i will say the NE 460 fit my wolverine bore nicely, i am still going to slug it before i buy more conicals, which will be bullshops. they are a lot cheaper and my understanding is excellent quality also..Ray
