T-Cs

Had about 6 T-C rifles and a few others and all of 'em would shoot pretty well. I wasn't interested in benchrest accuracy...just angle of deer. My max shot with any of the muzzys has been about 75 yds but ya can't see too much farther for decent shots in the woods...at least in Md. I shot roundballs also so I definitely wanted to keep my shots under 100 yds. Shooting 100 yds from a bench the best groups I ever had was with one rifle and it would shoot just a bit larger on average than 2 inches. The Savage 10ML does that easily though with the recommended loads of smokeless. Pyrodex or 777 and black the groups spread out to about 3 inches. So ....I use ...smokeless BTW years ago I did a test with the brass powder measures for loading muzzys and they were so inconsistent it wasn't funny. As much as 10 grains different from load to load. Went to weighing charges and it was better for accuracy. How many hunters ever check their powder measures?? Just too many variables to the muzzleloader sport for the AVERAGE shooter to be consistently accurate. I would say..you just ain't average. So stop arguin with me!!
