40-90 again

[mherth]

Finally caught a break in the weather and got a chance to check my theory that in the fire formed cases I needed to go up a few grains of powder over the new cases.
Load 94 grain OE 1F,cases primed with rp 9 1/2 , napa rubber cork wad, muzzle loader original dry lubed felt wad, BACO 396415 M cast from 16-1 and wet wrapped in Seth Cole 55w.
Took a few rounds to get on target at 600 as the only distance I had ran this rifle was at 1000 yds, so had to start extrapolating sight settings. But I think it all worked out well.
First group at 600


Then made some elevation correction.

So with that accomplished moved up to the silhouette line. First hit on the ram the swinger thing came apart so only got 1 round on target, did ding him on the front foot before making the elevation change.


So nothing left to do but move the sights to the turkey, got him on the very tip of the leg the first shot, then was able to correct a bit, and looking good.

Then with the ammo box about empty went after the pig. Its round on target is the one near the back, the next on the shoulder, and then whacked him in the armpit.

Looking good Don! But you already convinced me that rifle's a shooter last year at Alliance.
