Finally got it, the hunt is OVER

Poor thing lived a good life before a 50 cal PRB brought her down at 15 feet

Congrats! Shes a beauty. You have to have it mounted. Shoulder or euro mount?

 

[Caniborrowsomeammo]

Probably euro mount on a string from the ceiling of my powder room
Now I need to hunt for a Magnetospeed.

I think you should put a little sauce on it and throw it on the barbie. Eat what you kill.

 

[toytruck]

Well, you got great penetration...

Nice pass through shot, easy trail to follow?

 

[deermanok]

Oh the humanity.

I’m an optimist.

I say polish it up a little, and try it, before throwing in the towel.

A lot of folks here have “rescued” a muzzleloader with a neglected bore. I’d think somebody here must have experience rescuing a chrony.

It might just buff out, better than you think!

Because of the pass through it was the bullet I assume I've heard of the sabot killing a crony but not a pass through

You’re shooting pretty far to the left, for only 15 feet of distance. You’ll need a pretty serious correction to be “on” at 50 or 100 yards.

Start by moving the rear sight to the right. If you run out of adjustment at the rear sight, see if you can drift the front sight to the left a little bit.

That helps keep the rear sight a little more centered. It‘s more secure, but it looks better, too.

That’s why I like a dovetailed front sight!

Low & slow on the smoker at 225°. I recommend cherry wood.

Thats sounds amazing

I can kill a chrono by just thinking about bumping or shaking it.

If I get another one, its going to be an all-steel ballistic pendulum.

Please accept my extended sympathies.
During tragic times such as this, I fall back on that great sympathetic quote "Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror".
I suggest you use those accurate pics and post it on EBAY as LNIB. Someone will buy it..

Something like 2182 IIRC, the shot before the kill shot didn't read but there is a scrape mark in the top of the chrony so we think it just grazed the top.
