Getting ready for a Muzzleloader hunt in NM Unit 17 in 4 weeks.
I've been wanting a custom grade Muzzleloader for years, and with this hunt booked I sprung for it. Purchased a .50 Cal Arrowhead barreled action, and dropped it in an extra MDT stock I had. Since scopes aren't allowed in NM anymore, I went with the Revic EXO MOA Sight (+fiber Opic front).
Two range trips in the books, got the gun dialed in at 100 yards today (target pic of 5 shots attached). The Revic turret peep sight adjusted just like a scope turret making hits on 10in plates at 200 and 250 yards easy.
My load is 115gr by weight of BH209 pushing 320gr Fury bullets at 2330fps. Standard Deviation on 11 shots was 9.3 fps which I was happy with. I'm using standard size Arrowhead Primer modules with Federal 215M primers.
One more range trip planned with a buddy as spotter to practice at 300 yards.
That, and rucking 10mi a week to get ready for the trip....
