Got a chance to head down on some inlaws land near a family I had an afternoon meeting with. I really enjoy the muzzle loader but don't have enough trigger time to know the ballistics too awfully well. I replaced the scope I had with the Leupold as I wanted to so I did




Not making the same mistake I made last time I sighted in a rifle I got at 20 yards and shot to see where she hit.

Hit low at 20 yards.



2 bullets later and she was hitting on at 20 yards. I'm leaving it there until I get to a better place to shoot.

I did attempt to walk back at different intervals and see where it hit. Looks like at 50 yards using a stick as a rest ( yeah not the best thing to sight in a gun) it is hitting high.



This will get me on paper and I can see where it is hitting at 100 yards soon.

I am using 90 grains of Black Horn 209 and 250 grain shockwaves.

Hope I bag another Buck worth taking or at least a Doe for meat this season. If I don't get one with a bow first.

I have the same rifle. Other then my back stock matches my fore end. I have a 3-9x40 Cabela's Powder Horn on it. The rifle shoots basically the same load yours does. 90 grains of Black Horn. But I shoot a 240 grain .430 XTPs out of mine. And a lot of other things. I have not decided what I really want to shoot yet.

Where do you zero? 50 yards I'm thinking is too close to zero so that's why I'm asking.

Also any online places to order bulk bullets?

Ed's Gun shop .. Vass Nc ask for Carlos. He sells alot of what we need.. Barnes Tmz I think and also Pt Golds in bulk. Pt 's shoot great out of my Encores.
