Default Brrrrrrr

Double checking a couple of my muzzys to be sure they were sighted in for bear and deer seasons coming up with my commitment to use only muzzleloaders this year. Set up a target at 100 yards. 30* with a stiff constant wind in my face. Loaded up the 50 cal Rem 700 100 gr black MZ and 250 gr Barnes Expander MZs. Federal 209 primers. Clean bore shot 1/2" right and perfect height. Great - Now the .45 cal Knight Mountaineer 95 gr of Swiss 1 1/2 Hornady 10 mm 200 gr XTP. Clean bore shot 1/2" right and 2" high. Fantastic. Now head back home and clean them up and get some hot coffee.
Tomorrow its not supposed to get out of the 20s for the first day of bear season. I think I'll sleep in and head out doing a little still hunting and looking for fresh tracks in the newly fallen snow. I'll be toting the 700ML.

Good luck Clem. This old southern boy would be staying in bed. Not forever, just until daytime highs are in the 60`s. 😁
