Don,
In factory original state your gun is a ways behind the current technology for muzzleloading. You can have your 700ML built to handle loads that are in excess of the current 700 Ultimate ML for sure. I have a few of them myself. I limit 400 yards on bull elk shooting BH209 with my old...
There is a reason they used to advertise as the deadliest mushroom in the woods. They work. Here is a 180 gr CL that was in a 300 Wby Magnum that took out a oryx from under 200 yards. Oryx and their hides are tougher than any elk. This bullet did the job and was recovered under the hide on...
Try a sous vide (SV) cooker. You can set the temp do your desired doneness (125? for MR, 140? for M) and cook the steaks for 4 hours. It will not be overcooked as it is held at the perfect temperature but the tissue slowly breaks down. I have cooked beef short ribs for up to 72 hours. season...
The Ken Onion knife grinder is outstanding upgrade. It is repeatable and when used correctly, is fast and efficient.
Work Sharp is releasing a new sharpening tool this month. Stay tuned for a review.
The Work Sharp is a very good tool. I have a multitude of sharpening systems including Edge Pro Apex, Wicked Sharp, Lansky, Chef's Choice, and some others. I can get a razor edge with most of them but the Work Sharp is much faster than the others.
Most people over sharpen their knives. No...
It sounds like your scope may mounted with the reticle canted clockwise. Or you have a bit more left to right wind than you think. I am betting on the first.
Did you draw a NM tag? Congrats if you did. I did not. :(
Anyhoo you should be fine for accuracy at 300 yards with some BH209 (85.0gr by weight) and a 300 gr SST/Shockwave in a Harvester sabot. The problem comes with energy, or the lack there of. I would limit that combo to 250 yards for...
Anyone go on this hunt recently? My buddy drew a military only tag then asked me to take him hunting. Not a clue where to start. I have a map of 28 from a oryx hunt a few years ago, so I guess I will just start covering ground.
Grizzly,
Your caveat of "20 years" is the only thing making your statement true. Go back a bit farther and it is far from the truth. Clinton's Brady Bill put a 10 year hiatus on "assault guns" and magazines over 10 rounds. Libtards suck.
