Big Horn sight question

[plainshot]

I got response from NECGs that their peep is on back order for up to 12 weeks.  I can't wait that long to blast away with my Bighorn.  So I called Steve with Williams and ordered up a WGRS receiver mount peep (part #51096)with a twilight aperture (part #1437) yesterday. 

I'm pretty well up to my first field test of the rifle;  #11 German caps, track of the wolf bronze nipples, 100 grains t7-3f, 300 grain Speer Gdots, HPH24 sabots.  Met a knowledgeable muzzy salesmen at Adventure Sports in Lynnwood who has suggested some combos for some test rounds too.  One thing at a time. 

I wish that dam ground hog hadn't predicted 6 more weeks of winter!  The snow should melt soon I hope and off to the pit I go.  In the meantime I am thankful this site is up and running again.  I missed it for a couple of days this week.  I'll be sending a donation to show my support.

Got the powder right, grains right, caps right (although I prefer the German musket caps).....you might want to try some Hornady SST's.  Quite a few of us shoot this recipe and it works extremely well.

Thank you Wacenturion.  What wt. of .452 SST bullet and preferred sabot do you feed a Bighorn?  I have been practicing stuffing the slug at the work bench with my current recipe and the slug/sabot is what I would call a firm fit with moderate rod resistance.  With HPH Black sabots I am at .505 to .506 inch os diameter and it seems about right.  Assuming you sighted in at 100 yards and are in the bull, how high do you think you are at 50 yards? Any idea with SSTs?  Trying to get an idea of drop.
