I had a great time yesterday morning zeroing my removable peep sight on my Lyman GPR! I have it hitting a 1 3/8 diameter bull at 50 yards consistently (benched). And I have it hitting a 2 3/8 diameter bull at 100 yards consistently (benched). I zeroed it for 50 yards, and recorded the clicks for 100. For some reason, I can barely hit a pie plate at 100 yards with the open sights, but doing awesome with the peep. I know I cannot shoot this at my club, but I have done this for deer hunting. There is plenty of adjustment left as well. I will sight it in for 150 and 200 yards just for targets or a more ominous situation. It amazes me how much better I can shoot with the removable peep sights. I feel very, very accomplished.
I also will (before worrying with the further distances) shoot the Hornady PA 240 grain conicals with the peep sight and record their clicks for 50 and 100, and maybe 125 yards.
I would feel comfortable shooting a buck at 125 only with the heavier conical.
Man, I love my muzzle loaders.
