I just have a few questions for people who probably know more than I do. This year will be my first year muzzleloading since I bought my gun last year.
I'm getting serious about it because I want to be ready to put that 190" buck on my wall.
here's whats going on: I shoot a CVA Accura V2 with 110gr of blackhorn 209 and a barnes 290gr TMZ.
I thought I had it mostly sighted in since the last time I shot it but, I had to do some tweeking. I shot at 50 yards bringing to 3" high. I shot 3 or 4 rounds almost touching (i did not take a picture of that target).
Next i put up a new target and moved out to 100 yards. all my targets are 2" black circles which the cross hairs of my scope pretty much covers up. I shot 4 rounds at 100 yards all of which are about 4" high about a 1.5" -2" group.
Okay? you fallowing me??
so at 50 yards i'm 3" high. move out to 100 yards and i'm 4" high maybe a hair more.
then I move out to 200 yards and my first 2 shots hit about 2.5" apart from each other and about 3" to 4" low. then the 3rd shot hits roughly 8" low (maybe I pulled) my targets I draw for 200 yards are 4" circles not that it matters because my crosshairs pretty much cover the entire paper at that distance.
I shot probably 35 times today and ran out of primers. there were the occasional flyers that would hit right, or low or whatever, but Im just going to say that was due to a 1X scope
SO..... all in all, as I understand it. my gun shot 3" high at 50 yards, 4.5" high at 100 yards and an average or 4" low at 200 yards.
to all you people that know better than me, does this sound right? or normal?
here are some pictures to maybe help you understand Sorry I didn't take a picture of my 100 yard target. forgot
(thinking of trying some 250gr barnes TMZ along side of my 290's to see what happens.)
.....Opinions.....
