It looks like your group is centered about .5" to the right. You might want to fine tune the point of impact before publishing a picture like that! Just kidding. It was a great group. It seems you have a great rifle/load combination.

I have been using a Remington 700 .30-06 since 1984. I have used other rifles, but seem to kill most of my game with that old Model 700. Recently,I bought a 1981 Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .270. It is a great shooter. I'll probably be using it this year (at least part of the time).

Where are Vortex scopes made? I looked at their on-line catalog, and didn't see it mentioned anywhere.

Between the two, I'd choose the 2-7x. Have it mounted as low as possible. It will be plenty of scope for hunting anything you'll be hunting with a muzzle loader.

I still have them. Send me your address, and I'll send them to you.

Re: Remington 700ml I have a Remington 700 ML in 54 cal. I have the Canadian 209 primer conversion, and It is a really good shooting rifle. I use T7 and Winchester 209 primers, and it does all I ask of it. It helps if you wrap the breech plug threads with teflon tape. This reduces blowback...

I wonder if teflon tape around the threads of the breach plug would cut down on the fouling. I know it really helps my Remington 700ML.

My rifle fell out of a canoe last deer season, and, when I found it an hour later, my Redfield Widefield 2x7 scope was fogged. Since I bought this scope in 1979, I guess the seals had dried out. The lifetime guaranty had expired when the company expired, so after searching on the internet, I...

All I see is the deer.

I use loose 777, and have never used anything but plain water to wet my patches. They clean it well. I then run a dry patch through the barrel, and finish it with a patch with RemOil on it. My rifle is stainless steel, and it always looks clean after I've clean it.

I have one that i bought about 13 years ago. I have the Canadian 209 primer conversion kit in mine. I use teflon tape on the threads of the breech plug, and blowback is not bad. Mine shoots really well. I have killed several deer with mine, and it does a great job. I shoot a Remington 700...

I have 2 54 caliber muzzleloaders. One is a T/C Hawken, and the other is a Remington 700MLS . I shoot Sabots in the Remington, and the bullets I use (.451 cal.) could be used in a 50 caliber just as well. I have tried .500 pistol bullets in sabots, but they don't shoot as good as the .451's...

I have a Remington 700 ML Stainless in 54 cal. With it's 24 inch barrel, I weighed it out of the stock and without the scope or ramrod. It does have Redfield two piece scope bases. It weighed 3 lbs and 11 oz. with the bolt and trigger in it. Hope this helps you.

They seem to retain their weight well. I've killed several deer with both the 250 gr and 300 gr .451 XTP, and they always seem to drop a deer in their tracks.

What did the recovered bullet weigh? I recovered a .451 250 gr. XTP out of dirt at 100 yards. It had been shot out of a Remington 700 ML with 90 grains of Triple 7. The recovered weight of the 250 gr. bullet was 241 grains. I was impressed. Just interested in how much of your recovered...

Won't you need a barrel wrech to install a new barrel. Just a thought. It may be worth buying one.

Great elk. I've put in for Kentucky elk for the past few years, but have not been drawn. Maybe I'll try again next year.

That Ballistic Tip will drop a deer in it's tracks if it gets to the lungs. Thanks for the video report. I've been shooting Ballistic Tips since 1985, and they have killed a lot of game for me.

A friend of mine took his son on a turkey hunt on some friend's land in Oklahoma. The boy was about 14 years old. The father called in a gobbler. The boy shot it just inside the property line. The turkey flopped in death across the fence. The father and son crossed the fence, and were...

I've never used 200 gr. bullets, but 250-300 grain XTPs work great on deer. 200 grain maght be too lightly constructed
