So here is my first muzzleloader in about 20 years and my first rifle shots in about 4.
Rifle is a slightly customized Cabelas Hawken
Since I was just getting used to her and the new Lyman 57 I installed these are pretty close shots.
1st 3 rounds: 60 grains FFG, .10 moosemilk prelubed patch , Hornady .530 roundball, swabbed between each shot with Windex Vinegar
Oh yeah this was only 50 feet
I eventually moved to 25 yards
This is the last six rounds ( 5 hours later?)
Same powder charge ,storebought, prelubed, precut patches ,both .530 and .535 ball
