Muzzleloader & Shotgun Season.....

[Silver Belly62]

Accura Mountain Rifle, .50 cal w/ Bergara barrel, 90 grains of Blackhorn Powder, 250 grain Hornadys, Leupold VX-1

 

Savage 220 & 2 3/4" Remington Accutips, Nikon BDC (6 day)

 

My son is shooting both guns above, but his muzzleloader is my.50 cal Thompson Center Black Diamond w/Jim Shockey Gold powder 100 grains, 250 grain Hornadys, that I gave to him when I bought the Accura. 

How do you like that Jim Shockey gold ?

I gave up on MZ season, I never get to hunt the first 2 days with work and I hate cleaning them after checking zero ect. 

 

Shotgun ill either be out with my 20ga HR shooting buck hammers or my 870 with buckshot.

Don't like the Savage 220?

In terms of accuracy, it cannot beat my other guns - off a rest/rail.  But my pumps shoot nearly as good at the distances I shoot at, shoulder much smoother, and rack the 2nd and 3rd shots much quicker.

I own many slugs, my Savage 220 out shoots them all hands down, and they all are accurate

For the Black Diamond, love it. I used pyrodex pellets (dirty, corrosive) before the J/S gold (loose) powder in the Black Diamond. Very clean powder.

[JHbowhunter]

Matthews Z7, 28" draw, 65#, 465gr total arrow weight tipped with 125gr razor sharp VPA bh's. I feel more confident with that than any other weapon. I barely even hunt 6-day as it is, after deer hunting since September, as well as the typical "brown its down" 6-day mentality that still exists around me, it's not my favorite week. I do have a TC old hawken style muzzy (no scope) that I could dust off. Still - I am probably more lethal with the bow though I never found that muzzleloader to be all that accurate.

Today's modern, well-scoped muzzy is more lethal than the venerable Winchester 30-30 with iron sights.
