Autumn at 200 yards

[Confederate rifleman]

First time for her. The load is a 45 caliber 250 grain XTP, Harvester crush rib sabot over 70 grains 3f Swiss and lit with a Remington #11. Chrono'd velocity 1610 fps.
Did have some issues with the breeze and glare, but for her first time at 200 yards, I'll take it!
Drop was 22 inches.

Good shooting.

Thanks! I'd just dismounted the barrel to clean and lube the lock, so I was expecting some settling in issues. The overlap of the groups said " Nah, she's good".
This is my first time shooting a sidelock at 200 yards.
Will not be the last.
Every shot, flyers included, would have filled a tag.
Clearly, a sidelock is not out of its element at 200 yards.
The BOOM....whop interval was most entertaining!

Good shooting, open sights or peep i could not tell from pics.

She wears the factory bead front sight and the TC aperture rear.
The T/C Hawken is a VERY good sidelock. But I didn't think she'd do this well at 200.
Live and learn!

One of the last bucks I killed with one of my .50 Hawkens was at 280 yards. They’ll do it!

 

[Confederate rifleman]

280?!
Daaang! You were probably half way reloaded by the time it got there. That's a poke!

Peeps are the bomb!

And they send bombs, too!

 

[Confederate rifleman]

That they do!
Proof of the pudding.
Fairly describes her upper lungs, thoracic aorta and spine...

Pink and bubbly! Just how I like it!
