Another Glorious Day, or day two.
« on: September 22, 2014, 04:30:47 PM »
Finally got out to the range for a true test with my 100 dollar Interarms .54 Hawken.  At 50 yards resting my elbows, 90 grains of Pyrodex under a 320 gr REAL bullet I cast and a lubed felt base pad.  Group high but centerd and could be covered with an open hand.  Decided I needed to take a good rest to reduce this humans error.  Pulled the rear tang peep (from old TC New Englander I once had) down a full turn on the adjustment and tightend the set screw.  First shot cut the bull 3/4 inch above center from a bag rest.  Second shot cut the first hole to 1 inch wide.  Third shot went between the first two.  I decided I found my hunting load in the first six shots.  Took the girl home and gave her a good cleaning.  Best auction buy ever. Now if i can stand to wait for deer season we will see how she does on our big Iowa Whitetails.
