Custom Omega .45

[45-70]

Spotted for a fellow today. He was shooting his custom Bestill Omega,45 cal. I watched as he opened the Gun case, loaded, posted target was at 100 yds. Cold bore his first shot from the new rifle, it was a X at 11:30. He got up loaded looked at his drop sheet which came with rifle, and adjusted for 200 meter chickens, it was a hit slightly left of hanger, same on pigs which are at 300 meter, right under hanger center, turkey was the same at 385 meter , under the hanger, and finally 500 yd. ram , same hit on ram hanger, he looked at me dumbfounded , put the rifle back in the case. He himself, never realized it could be done that easy. I can't remember the charge but was using Fury Bullets. Good Job Bestill on building a excellent rifle, and to you Grant Brown for such good shooting

Inline Muzzleloading forum, so not a SML rifle.

smokeless , but makes no difference what the powder, it was about how it shot and person using it

......makes no difference what the powder...........

Whoa...............It does make a difference to some. One would assume the fella was shooting Blackhorn. Shucks he wasn't.

Is this thread dangerous?...............misleading?.............Not for me to say...............
