Muzzleloader miss

[g8rvet]

So my brother had a miss a couple weeks back at 25 steps with my muzzleloader-TK2000.  His son killed one with it two years ago, my son killed one with it a week later.  he has a side by side ML that he missed a jake in the fall with.  I told him mine was dead on, take it, and then he missed a longbeard.

So it got me to wondering if it was the gun or the shooter.  next post I will put a pic up of the pattern at 25 yards.

It was the shooter.   Oops.

That is poison reflex

Yes it works really well. That is with that recipe I posted. I use that exact same recipe in the Encore. I back off 10grs of powder in the Huntsman.

If he had taken a few prior practice shots he may have developed a flinch   My TK kicks so much I've seriously worried about detached retina. Not a gun for woozies.

What was that crazy load Knight used to recommend with the TK2000, 2 1/2 ounces of shot with 120 grains of powder or something? Yeah, I'll pass on that one.

100gr Fg powder
2 hard card wads
2 ounces hard lead shot
1 hard card overshot

That load isn't for the feint of heart either, but it's really no worse than any 3" turkey load and it's effective at 40 yards.
