This afternoon I went out to shoot my Traditions 50 cal. had a scope on it an figured on shootin these new bullets. Couldn't hit a thing
Whats goin on here says I? Did have this scope on a lower power spring piston airrifle, maybe got messed up? Pulled the scope an mounts, an used open sights that came on the rifle. Now I've shot the muzzleloader with these open sights before an did good, so I never touched the sight after that time. I go ahead an load the rifle, 50 grains triple seven, an the new bullet to me anyway, all lead 295grain power belt, pressed 209 primer into place, an took nice steady as could be of aim, an touched it off! BOOM! says it! Carefully set the rifle down an headed to target. Well I tell ya, was'nt really sure where that bullet hole was gonna be, I knew it would be on paper. How about my surprise!
at finding that hole at just about dead center! Now understand, I'm shootin at about an 1 1/2" dia. circle, with no fancy bench resting, just my elbows restin on top of old wood table, holdin the rifle an taken staedy aim as I can lookin through those open sights at a little circle. So I load rifle again, cause maybe that first shots a fluke, well it was'nt, next shot was right next to it! still inside that little circle! so load again, an that shots touchin the last one!
Ain't nothin like it! Have a good one! scout4<><
