Got it back in time.
 

The scope was returned from Leupold just two days before the muzz season started. Mounted it, shot on my 100yd range to zero it, then headed to the club's range for some long range tuning.

She tracked excellent.

Pulled off this 5-shot 400yd group. Shooting was from a front rest and rear bag. No lead sled!

Holes don't look good at all. Do you not put card board backing on your targets? Those holes show signs of tumbling, but I would assume just not backed properly. That's an amazing group, but I would like to see better holes. All the money you spend in bullets and powder, im sure you can find some card/chip board someplace!!:lmao::poke:

Very unfortunately........ the club doesn't spend much time updating their 600yd range. And, unfortunately the State Police and Sheriff's departments use it and shoot everything all to heck (polite word). They use very large rubber belts to staple to and they're litterly filled with staples. I'm lucky to get a target stapled on them.

However... you're right. I don't use cardboard and its also the type target I'm using causing the problems. Ain't no bullet tumbling grouping like that at that range.... :biggrin:

I'd cut that thing loose... who could take a rifle like that into the woods? So unethical.
(Doesn't give the deer a chance!) :D

Great shooting, amazing actually! :hail::hail::hail:

I want to see the selfie of that GIANT GRIN you had when you saw that group. :s3:

Nice...I couldn't match that at 50 yds.

Very good shooting with a muzzleloader there. I could never pull that kind of shooting off. Congratulation.

Thanks guys.

I've been working, well over the phone anyway, with a guy that has been coaching me and who is really helping me out. I'm hoping I can get to shoot with him sometime this winter.

Might work. :s4:

maybe you should coach him:popcorn:

Not bad shooting for a pup :D Leave it to Grouse to worry about the holes :nonono2: At 100 I would worry about putting backing on to assure myself of bullet entry angle but at 400, if your bullet isn't stabilized you sure aren't going to hit anywhere near where you are aiming.

Well your wrong:lmao::poke: You would not believe some of the groups I shot and some others with an un stable bullet. The .40 215grn Lehigh CF bullet in a 1/30twist 45 is the one im talking about. But in most cases I would agree with you.

Had a guy from Texas kidding me about the shots being high/left on the target. I actually made an adjustment and fired two more rounds before I stopped shooting. I just didn't show the entire target photo. I suppose now he'll say I'm a little low/right.. LOL

If I ever brought home target paper looking like that, my wife would faint.
These days she spots me shaking, while pouring a spoonful of sugar in her coffee mug.:eek2:
