My first outing with my new Peep sight Setup, I am VERY confident in this Sight system (I Have it on all of my Rifles) I have been anxious to get out and shoot this thing. I am very pleased with the Old .54 Cal MK-85, She’s definitely a shooter! I Sent my Cold Bore Fouler Shot at a Small white Rock up high on the Sand bank, I scared the DAYLIGHTS out of it, That shot gave me confidence that i would be on paper. I Swabbed and started my 5 Shot Group
Target was 70 Yards
Bullets i used, My Custom PP Design, BIG Wide Meplat. These bullets weigh right at 530 Grains with 1-40 Alloy. The bullets have 2 Wraps of 9# onion skin paper and then ran through my .539 “Finisher” Sizing die (Just slightly irons the Paper and makes for easier loading)
This Big Meplat fills the Bore
My first 3 Shots, 85 Grains by Weight of Swiss 2F powder, With 1/8” Oxyoke brand .54 Cal Wool Felt OP Wad
And my last 2 Shots Completing the 5 Shot Group. No complaints here :yeah:
