What muzzleloading stuff did you do today?

[ElDiablo]

I ordered an MCARBO Encore trigger spring kit.

I mentioned black powder to a couple of people today and that I'm on this forum.

Was shooting my .45 McGowen-barreled Omega. The 195s with 57 gr were about 2640 and with 60 gr they were 2690 fps. It was pretty windy today and the groups were nothing to write home about. I’m going to drop down a few grains and try it again on a calmer day.

I ordered one from Mark also. I really like my patriot and like the mcgowen 1-18. Thank you for sharing it is nice to see what other people are getting for their results..

The range where I shoot is currently closed so no shooting for now. Last time out with a pair of Triumphs was shooting 250grn Barnes original expanders. Not great but not terrible either. Next time out with 300grn deep curls and xtp's. Iirc the Triumph shoots better with the heavier bullets.

Sounds like a great setup. I have an Omega and have thought about setting it up for smokeless but would prefer to stay with fifty cal.Any advice where to go appreciated.

You have a picture of that rifle? I’d love to see what it looks like.

I assembled a new to me Omega after it arrived at my door that I purchased from 1874sharpsshooter. Never held one before so I’m just getting familiar with the Omega. Feels comfortable in my hand so far. Will shoot it this week sometime.

Just got done gathering my coyote hunting calls and getting speed loaders set up and packed a fanny pack. Going hunting next week.

Moved my muzzleloaders, bullets and powder from getting wet. Basement flooded due to a broken supply line. The company covered it under warranty but took from 8AM to 8PM to get everything cleaned up and a few trips to the dump. Think firehose spraying everywhere, the line that broke was braided and popped at the crimp.

First 6 Bullets down range with the Omega 45 Cal Factory 28 twist this is a fury 225 and 68 grains by weight of Blackhorn it shows some potential,,will bump up little,,,I took it out of the thumb hole pretty laminate stock that it came in and put it in the plastic with the more traditional grip it's better for me I wash out when I'm shooting left or right with a thumb hole too easily

Not a bad group for that gun bro. I'm just smiling away that you got another Omega.
