Got her dialed in
 

A few weeks back I took my Pro Hunter w/.50 Encore Bergara barrel to the range to get the replacement Bushnell DOA 250 ready for 100yd shooting.

This is the group at 50yds a few weeks back.

Today I hit the 100yd range. Shooting done with a Bulls bag front rest and Caldwell rear rest. Barrel running HOT!!

I think she's dialed in for the first day of Maryland's early muzzleloader season on Oct. 20th. :biggrin:

That's some really good shooting.

That really should work - doant ya tink...

WOW- that's some awesome shooting! I wouldn't touch that combo at all....

i just noticed something in your first post, where you said 72g of bh209 by weight. I dont know much about blackpowder shooting, last year i got back into it using bh209 in my encore prohunter, and i was using 110 and 120 grains using one of those volume measurers. Am i doing it wrong where bh is concerned? never used weight before

72gr by weight of BH209 should be in the neighborhood of 105 by volume. Actually according to my volume measuerer its a little more. All the measurer's throw slightly different. I recently got a RCBS Chargemaster 1500 and had to use it.

Come on, really? We all know only Knights can shoot that good! And anyway, that group is at least 1/2" right of center. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I would have expected better.
OK, I hope you're realizing I was just kidding. Excellent job. Looks like you have zero excuses as far as accuracy goes.

I'll aim 1/2" left, I ain't touchin a thing! :D

All black powder and substitutes are measured by volume. There is no safety issues posting by weight because weights are less then by volume. Keep loading by volume, no reason for hunting to load by weight. Just do the same thing all the time when you load.

Excellent shooting and a beautiful rifle..
