I agree. Not only is it more ethical, but it is also much more fun to be shooting your gun. You will also end up knowing for sure what your guns is doing.

...Deleted by CalHunter... Please tell me where I said I wasn't going to shoot it at 100 yards. I was just trying to get a good idea before I start shooting at 100. ...Deleted by CalHunter...

...Deleted by CalHunter... Since you want to take it that way.

I guess you're calling the others idiotic who agreed that you should shoot at 100yds?

i used a 200 grain slug, pushed by about 120grains of bh209, 2 high at 50 has me 4 high at 100. Using your setup id stay you should be deadon or close to it at 100, depending on how high your scope mounts are.

No, I know I should shoot it at 100 yards. Never said I wasn't. Sorry for asking a question on a discussion forum. ...Deleted by CalHunter...

Thanks for the input fellas.

Your question seemed valid to me. I didn't respond, because i didn't know the answer, but i figured somebody would. I still don't know the answer, but i will guess that if you are 1" high at 50 yard with your load, you will be dang close to zero at 100 yard.



I wish Muley wouldn't have written For a learner to ask the learned, is a fine fine thing, and should be encouraged. Myself, i have learned quite a lot reading this forum. There are many helpful folk that read and write to this forum. Things i have learned reading this forum have made my muzzle loader experience more better. It seems to me, it is OK ease one's learning, by asking questions. Every new scientist doesn't have to do the same experiments that were done to bring science to where it is now.

I'll tell you why I put it that way. I've seen more than once guys ask similar questions, and then use the info without ever shooting the range they asked about.

Nobody could give an accurate answer to him. All they could do is give their best guess. I don't think guessing should be involved in sighting in a gun.

The best answer I could give him was to shoot at 100yds. Which he claims he was going to do anyway. Then why bother to ask the question. It wasn't going to be off more than a couple of inches.

I gave an honest answer to him. He didn't like honesty.

You could have been a bit more tactful. For all we know, he may value honesty. I wish you wouldn't have written that his question shouldn't have been asked.
