A bud & I went to the IWLA to shoot a few.
I took my old CVA Bobcat .50cal, 5.5" barreled Pietta 1858 .44cal & he brought his Traditions Yukon .50cal & 38/44 Nagant 7.62X54mm.
I wanted to see what my Bobcat would do with PRB since it had been 10 years since I had it "traded Logan the Yukon for my ole .50" & I just dreamed up a charge of 80gr. 777fffg with a .490 ball with .15 lubed patch & it worked like a charm at 50 yards hitting just shy of dead center of the paper plate benched & eventually off hand shooting was producing good groups "1.5" was my best" with 90gr. 777fffg at 50 yards & at 100 yards I was doing OK "could be better but the sights are old style & I refuse to change them out & besides I don't plan to take a Deer much past 75 yards any way with it."
Logan & his Yukon using 3 30gr. 777 pelets & a saboted .44cal 240gr. had a hard time grouping at 50 yards & I had to help get him ligned up to hit center of the plate at 50 yards but with a few more outings like this I think I can have him shooting good to 100 yards..
As far as the Mosin Nagant, he never cleaned the creosote out of it from when he bought it at Gander Mountain 6 months ago, so after I cleaned it & noticed that it needed tightening I was able to hit pretty good "2.5" groups average at 50 yards, this thing needs some TLC to get her laying tacks" with it using winchester factory ammo but Logan was not as good but is a work in progress "he doesn't shoot even half as much as I do so he sortof needs a little instruction."
My 1858 was just to have fun on some cans which it is best at but Logan was supprised a little at the recoil of her but understood when I told him that I only load 35gr. FFFG Goex & a .457 143gr. ball & nothing less..
All in all our shooting was fun & informative "for Logan"
After we got back to my home we locked up the guns in my safe so we can watch Iron Man, cool movie
Clean up of the guns was ofcorse when we got back to my house for a few beers & some Nice Ribeyes...
