You guys don't get it . I understand where your coming from. None of you have shot @ 1000 yards.
Mr. Encore is in for a rude awakening on his learning curve.
I do hope him the best . You all will find it interesting as well as me.
I have a 22 center fire that will shoot 1/4 minute at 500 yrds and put any ML to shame on a good day @ 1000yrds with no wind.
I do know, some what I'm talking about. My little 22 will put 5 shots in the 5 ring @ 1000 Prone position on a good day.
To get out 1000yards with any accuracy with a 300 + grain bullet is going to take a very heavy load of SML powder. That none of you can comprehend . With a light gun 12lbs or less the old man is going to take punishment he knows nothing about
All of you on this thread are going to learn something. A large gong at 1000 doesn't prove anything . Let's put it on paper. 5 shot's
Sorry folks I'm not in your little social club.
Idaho how many shots did you fire to get 3 in 4 inches. That's what I thought Let's get real here No BS
Mr wmdbowman............
I have....... yet...... to shoot 1,000yds. But believe me, others on this site have. So the word "none" that you like to use is wrong.
Rather I'm in for a rude awakening on my learning curve or not, is one thing that you shouldn't be concerned about but, thanks for wishing me the best. I do appreciate that.
What on earth makes you think that I have no comprehension about shooting heavy loads of SML propellant? What in the world makes you believe I'm going to take punishment I know nothing about?
I've been shooting EXTREMELY heavy recoiling rifles for 6yrs now, so you're not telling me anything about recoil that I do not know. For 5yrs I shot a muzzleloader that's recoil would be considered
no less than VIOLENT. There's a couple guys on this site that can verify that statement.
It seems that you like to suggest your exceptional knowledge, but quite frankly, I and it appears others, are calling some of it BS too. Its also ok that you're not in our social club.
Personally, you have no clue what rifle I have, or how well its built, nor what its built for.
What you can do with a CF rifle has nothing to do with muzzleloaders, nor muzzleloader shooting.
However, if you'd like to prove your expertise with muzzleloaders, you should make a trip to shoot at Friendship.
Last......... challenging Lewis is a bad mistake. No BS.
