    the federals say muzzleloader on them so I will either stick with 777 or find some shotgun primers. I looked and cant find much right now. Appreciate all the info guys.

    thanks guys so, the breech plug in my impact will work for bh209? I will buy another plug for her wolf, do the plugs say bh209 on them specifically? I bought some federal primers and have about 150, but is there a difference in the 209a primers? do I need to look for those. Ive got some time...

    nice buck, we shot 777 but sounds like blackhorn might be the way to go, but then I was reading you needed a different breech plug for that, and nothings showing up for my impact. her wolf is 2 years old, maybe we should just keep shooting 777. I really didnt wanna go down a rabbit hole with...

    Scope for aging Dad

    Scope for aging Dad

    I just got mine and yes its visible in low light. For me its not visible in normal light at all. I wanted the thicker reticle for my eyes and it def has a much thicker reticle than my leupold does. Great for shorter shots, maybe not so much if your going long
