Frontier .50 at the range

[Omahkapi'si]

On Sunday....55 gn of T7 with a .490 ball;

50 yds (off hand) and 100 yds (1 knee) respectively. Man I never knew how much fun I was missing with these old timey rifles. I love shooting it. Sent a couple over the top at 100 then clipped the target top but after that started to get it looking a little better. I know the ladder sight is not PC but it sure helps me hit what I'm aiming at...

Not bad at all. Try a few different thickness of patches next time out. A small thing like that can sometimes make a big difference.

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Thanks, I will. I am using .015 right now. I found a few laying out there after shooting, they looked pretty good, not all burned up, just the ball mark and frayed edges.

Sounds like a great time... Nice shootin'

It's funny how you take a muzzleloader to the range, then 4 or 5 hours is gone before you know it. You think, well maybe it's time to pack up....well a couple more shots....then another couple of hours gone. I need to pack a lunch....

What's really great is when you realize after those four hours that you only went through about 10 bucks worth of lead and powder... You could burn through a paycheck after 4 hours with unmentionables.

Amen to that.

Looking pretty good there maineguy. Man, I could stay up at our local range all day. Up in the mountains, very scenic and peaceful spot.

Just finished removing the Skinner rear ladder sight and installed the original rear buckhorn that came with the rifle. I am going to give it another go, since I am much more comfortable shooting it now. Hopefully try it out again next week, and see how it goes. I am sure I can get it working for me, and the rifle is as it should be again. ....HC.
