Update- scope was sent back to vortex on warranty and they found it had a poi shift on different magnification and under recoil so I got a new one. Hopefully this new scope isn’t a dud either
Figured the cci mz primers would be good in a muzzleloader lol, the more you know tho. Thanks for all the help it’ll be a couple weeks till I can trouble shoot it again
The pergeriene is rated to 160gr by volume of bh209, and even with 150 it thumps being such a light rifle. I appreciate the advice about the primers. I’ll go pick up so different ones when I get a chance, this whole bullet to bore mz thing I so new to me that there will be some growing pains...
Yeah I bought it for
i have an old knight mk85 that’s been my go to for muzzleloader, wanted to try something new in the pergerine and it’s just totally new to me compared to what I’m used, whole new learning curve and I don’t have any buddies that are into black powder so I’m trying to learn...
I was going off of load data I had found on another site of a guy shooting some really incredible groups with his. I’ll try shaving some more off of the rounds as they may be too tight? So much to learn with this compared to my old knight. Hopefully it’s the scope but definetly going to drop the...
Update, I can’t get the pergerine to shoot worth a shit, ran out of time before ks muzzleloader to figure out exactly what the problem is, was using 150 gr by volume of Blackhorn 209 and the fury 250gr black tips, cci 209.mz primers.
Base for scope wasn’t loose, used loctite on screws
Scope was...
Oh everything with shooting is expensive, already have my toes dipped in uspsa, prs and hunting so I know the rabbit hole already, I don’t think I can take on shooting muzzleloaders at that level you are lol I’ll be sure to update how the pergerine performs and hopefully have a couple kills with...
This is all the info I’ve been looking for when it comes to the pergerine, new to the new muzzleloading tech and don’t know anyone around me that’s serious about it. I’m going to go with the pergerine espically being able to shoot that many rounds through it without needing to swab.
Does bh mean...
Thanks for all the info, I was shying away from the cvas because of those reasons, I’m not going to drop the coin on a custom muzzleloader and just want something to reach out for hunting and mess around with at the range. What’s the best performing long distance hunting round for the 40s?
Also...
You’re definetly making me reconsider the pergeriene. I don’t compete with black powder and really only use them for hunting. I thought about the western hunting but will still have a 50cal for that when I do make it out west. The .45 that I like is the paramount htr from cva but I’ve read some...
You nailed it right on the head with what I was trying to ask so thank you,
Could I get the same type of ballistics and distance out of a 45 cal shooting a 40w/sabot?
Also is there a huge benefit in shooting bullet to bore?
The pergerine comes with the bullet sizer and sizing wrench
Thanks...
I’m going to be buying a knight peregrine to take over for my knight mk85. As I dove deeper into the pergeriene (.40 cal) I’ve come across stuff I know nothing about when it comes to muzzleloaders.
What is annealing muzzleloader bullets?
Solid copper rounds vs cast rounds and the difference...
The rifle still won’t hold under an inch with FGMM or the handloads that shoot amazing out of every other 308 I’ve owned. I’m frustrated but decided to rebarrel it to 6creed since I’m a lefty and can save some money instead of going full custom for another action. Hope they square yours away...
In state, have hunted north and southeast of Manhattan. Wanted to expand into more open land as I’ve never hunted it before. I grew up hunting farmland in wisconsin so it hasn’t been much different since I got down here
