Good luck! That target is going to look really small at 300 yards. Should be interesting.
Years ago I purchased a T/C Black Mountain Magnum .50 caliber. Those rifles even though traditional in style basically have a T/C Omega barrel on them. They have a 1-28 twist that I discovered must be swabbed between shots. But I threw a scope on it. I was shooting some impressive groups with it at 100 yards. But never thought of 300 yards. If a person was shooting a 200 grain Shockwave 40 caliber with 100 grains of black powder ... what would you guess would be the hold over at that kind of distance? Out of curiosity. |

40 inches ... wow! I personally guess 3 feet from some ballistic charts I ran. So that would be real close. The wind must really effect something that light that travels that far. Good luck on your shooting. I can't wait to see the results of your attempt.

That should be fun Sharpsshooter. At that range you will have time after the shot to remove your earmuffs to hear the gong. :D

well I made it out to the pasture .And came home a happy camper even though I didn't shoot very far.:happy0157: I only shot at 100 yards because the wind was so atrocious. I was happy with the results though. considering how bad my eyes are getting plus I haven't been shooting open sights much lately for that very reason. Needless to say I am going back to open sights and practice a lot more . Maybe There are a few more years left in the eyes after all. :woot:
Coyote Omega 1:18 twist with peep sight 130 gr Blackhorn 270 E max sabotless with .060 veggie wad and sized federal 209 primer I cleaned after each shot. first shot 3 shot group 5 shot group now when it isn't so windy it is time to move back to 200 :barmy: |
Wow that is some very impressive shooting. Were you holding dead center bull?

Nice group. At 50 my eyes sure aren't what they used to be and shooting open sights is getting more difficult by the minute. Aperture sights have really helped me and that is one dandy looking setup you have there sir. Dad had to completely stop even trying open sights around my age and went to aperture for a few years then to completely relying on scopes. Looks like my vision is traveling the same path. Can't read without 1.5x reading glasses and buckhorns look like a fuzzy ball.

This video covers cleaning and loading. I made it more for beginners. But in this video I am shooting a gong out to 300 yards with my 45 cal Hawken.

40 inches are really great! Pretty impressive. Thinking to start practicing shooting again :P
