My .50 T/C Hawken got dirty today. 87° with 70% humidity. Ugh...
But it's my experience muzzleloaders shoot quite well in " less than optimal" weather. My one flint Renegade shot her best groups when the humidity was so high, the pan was wet between shots.
Go figgr...
Anyway. 3 rounders at 100 went from 2 & 1/4, first group, down to 7/8ths for the second group and an inch for the third. Aperture sight btw.
70 grains 3f Swiss Holy Black, a 250 grain .45 caliber XTP in a Harvester crush rib sabot. Last chrono'd at 1610 fps.
I'll be using her for our October antlerless deer and bear muzzleloader season.
