BIKINI clad COEDS shooting MUZZLELOADERS!!
« on: March 17, 2020, 03:13:45 PM »



Sorry, not this time :D :D   :chuckle: :chuckle:


Shooting my friends rifle  that I built for him. Traditions St.Louis Hawken .50cal 1:48 twist. 70gr 3fg Goex, .490 cast ball .020" patch lube with an experimental patch lube, no swabbing.  50 yard 3 shot group. Average velocity of 1,579.


Earlier I was trying to shoot for groups with 60gr 3fg Swiss ( Most accurate ) and just had to laugh at the 3 1/2 - 4" groups WHILE SWABBING BETWEEN SHOTS! It got worse with no swabbing. That 3fg Swiss is a joke.


I still have to file a bit more off the front sight to bring impact up a good 3 1/2" or so, but today I just wanted to experiment with powders and figure out what she likes most. Goex was the winner by a long shot. Same load I use in my st.louis hawken and my dads hawken as well.


She also puts the 395gr lyman plains bullets that I cast, into a nice tight little cluster! Recoil isn't to bad with 70gr 3f either, but it will get your attention.

Figured it was gonna be a funny post! That’s some good shooting. I built a TC Hawken kit and have only used a weak charge and hunted ground squirrels. 50 cal sure knocks them over. I’ll have to play with powders and try for one of my fall bear with it I think. So far I only used pyrodex.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen
