36 Cal.
this is the first time i've asked any questions, usually i glean enough info to solve any problems by reading all the other posts.
my wife bought me a thompson center 36 cal. seneca back in 1974 for my birthday and it more than shoots well. i've always shot 60grns fffg and round ball hornady
ammo.
with everybody shooting lower powder loads, i thought i'd give the 30grn. a try in this rifle. it shoots 2 inches left of center with that load and the same patch .010 lubed.
the rear sight has only been adjusted vertical or lowered and the windage has never been touched or needed any adjustment.
that windage screw won't budge. i've soaked it in penetrating solution for 8 hours and heated it with a hot air blower but it is firmly planted for some reason. there is no rusting anywhere on the sight. i tried tapping lightly with a brass rod and still nothing moves. i don't want to bugger up the screw slot and i'm open to any suggestions.
