got sighted in at 25 and then moved out to 100. It seems to shoot well with 80 grains of T7 but after 20 rounds....OUCH
With the 80gr of T7 and a TC 250 shockwave it seemed to group well. got a 3 shot group within a 1.5" circle. Not bad for the first time ever shooting a ML. I did notice that the crud ring with the T7 is a real pain to load after the 2nd shot. Had to break it down and clean it after every 4th shot.
I had to beat the dang thing to death with the bore brush. Also dragged out the 45 cal brush and stroked back and forth over the crud ring area as with the 50 you had to go completely thru and then back through.
this is alot of work to shot the 50 but the white smoke makes it worth it.
While i was there another club member showed up and was shooting a flint lock 40 that was custom made. what a nice gun. He was shooting real powder. Don't know why people complain about the smell. I kinda enjoyed it.
any advise on how to beat the crud ring a little easier?
thanks
