Finally Shot my Muzzleloader

[TRICER]

Got out and shot my new muzzleloader with @BBH. For my first time shooting a ML it was actually much easier than I thought. The CVA Accura, globe sites, 100g Pyrodex pellets, and 250g Barnes should be a pretty deadly set up for my M6 tag this fall.
Check out the slow mo video of me shooting off the Tricer GTP-RS legs. Prone to standing I love these legs!

That looks like a sweet rifle. It seems to pack a punch. But I don't know anything about MLs.

Doesn’t take much recoil to push me around lol.

Really it wasn’t that bad. It was probably some of the most fun I have had shooting a gun in a long time. Me and Barry kept saying one more.

Hmm, CVA used to be famous for blowing up in your face.

Looks sweet! M6 should be fun to hunt the week of Christmas.

I prefer Triple 7 but that's what my gun shoots best.

I want to try the White Hot Pellets. The Pyrodex was crazy dirty. Even after one shot it was tough to get another bullet down the barrel. We cleaned every other shot.

Pyrodex burns really dirty. It has cost me shots while hunting and also makes it hard to clean. Very corrosive in my opinion.

All muzzle loader propellants (777, black powder, pyrodex ) are more corrosive than smokeless. I only use black powder either Goex or Swiss in my Hawken. When cleaning, I first use hot water with a little Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Then some WD-40 to flush any remaining moisture and finish off with a swab of gun oil.
