I ordered a new Buckhorn from factory and just wondering about good loads for deer/elk.....also wondering about good peep setups? Thanks for advice. --- End quote --- Forgot to mention loads... This target might give you thought... I believe the Lehigh bullet is one the bullets bullets on the market. Of course I think they are a step above Nosler Partition and the Barnes offering. If you do not want to pay for the premium bullet and in this day and age, i would suggest you look at the Speer .452/300 gr. Deep Curl/Gold Dot. Bonded bullet with controlled Expansion... BC .233 |

I vote for the Barnes TMZ. Absolutely devastating on game! Proven over and over again. I don't have a pic of the 250gr TMZ I recovered from my bull elk last year but it was perfectly mushroomed on the opposite side with a double lung shot at about 100yds. The bull went nowhere! I use 100grs of T7 FFG and a CCI #11 mag primer. I put a Williams Ghost Ring Aperture on my rear sight and love it for hunting. This was 3 shots at 100 yds shooting off my Stoney Point Rapid Pivot bipod. I pulled a bit on the 3rd shot but the TMZ is very accurate. [smg id=9788] Here are some I dug out of the bank behind my target. This was hard packed dirt too. [smg id=7832] |

Hey Sabotloader, What is the part number for the front ramp and fiberoptic? I can't find anything that says will fit my Bighorn --- Quote from: Sabotloader on April 08, 2011, 04:23:43 PM --- --- Quote from: TRB on March 14, 2011, 04:06:05 PM ---I am new to muzzy giving it a try after longtime archer.

Thanks for advice. --- End quote --- I use the Williams FP peep sight on my MK85 and the Big Horn... The FP is a very good peep site and has 1/4" clicks for both windage and elevation. The front sight is a Williams fiber optic bead and not shown in the picture I have added hood that is open at the top to light up the front bead. I will try to get a picture posted with the hood... Here are some more pics of the set-up --- End quote --- |

Just tried to get ahold of Steve at Williams - could not get through but left a mesaage and he should return the call. When I get the information I will post it here... mike |
