Good fortune to ya!
Pic's? I'm not very versed yet in the muzzleloader world. Treat me like a 4yr old with picture books please. it sounds cool though.I picked up my Under-Hammer .40 cal barrel from P O. that Bob Hoyt made for me.
I know how to take the pic's with my cell ph. just don't know how to get them onto my laptop. Ignorance is what it is !Pic's? I'm not very versed yet in the muzzleloader world. Treat me like a 4yr old with picture books please. it sounds cool though.
You can email them to yourself from your phone. Or plug the phone into your computer with the charging cable and move the pics to your computer.I know how to take the pic's with my cell ph. just don't know how to get them onto my laptop. Ignorance is what it is !
Or access this site using your cell phone and upload the pics directly. (Assuming you have a smart phone).You can email them to yourself from your phone. Or plug the phone into your computer with the charging cable and move the pics to your computer.
Made up some more Bh209 loads, received some Parker 327 gr BMs, and ordered a bunch of bullets from Northern Precision.
Good idea for a thread. I like TC, Barnes, Thor, Parker and Fury among others.What are some other brands to look at for ammo? I'm a hornady guy for centerline so it's what this mz newbie went to out of habit. Probably could make this it's own thread. "What's in your ammo box"
Like you i have gotten to where i do not like pounding recoil. I can use a bit less n get the job done. Yes 5744 is dirty, i have 1 lb of it. H4198 at 57 & up is more than i like on recoil with my light Handi-rifle. I mostly use Blue Dot/RL7/4759/VV110.I had a little time this morning so I hit the club to shoot the 56.5 and 57 grain charges under the 225 grain, .40 start tipped Fury in a blue sabot. 3 shots each. Each 3 shots were a bit higher, but at 57 grains the recoil was noticeably heavier. Then I tried the three shots of each under a 195 grain, .40 Barnes Expander. Both of the charges sent the bullets about 3"-5" high and a hair to the right. No wind. Recoil was even worse at 57 than with the 225 grain. I've decided to shoot the 56 grain load with both bullets a couple more sessions and then decide which pill is going hunting.
I'm still in the hunt for some N110 locally but I'm always a day late. I may opt to order it and eat the hazmat fee, as much as that sours my stomach.
To cap off the shoot today I did some 5744 behind some 200 grain XTP .40 cal bullets in the blue sabots. Not impressed with the 5744. Dirty. I'll find someone locally that wants it.
And while I have plenty of the W209 and Fed 209A primers, I tried some cheddites today with the 4198 and they worked fine.
