4 weeks to muzzle loader season

Fj3fury · 09-03-2012, 07:00 PM

Well I got my inline converted to use 209 primers and sighted in to use home cast lead conicals..... CVA discontinued the good old deerslayer bullets. I cast the 320 grain Lee real mold which was only 20 grains heavier than the CVA's. When I was laid off two years ago I bought the mold and experimented making black powder lube. I settled on a 1/3 parrafin wax to 2/3 olive oil. So now my rifle will say "Ciao Bambi!". I have a week off from work to help fill the freezer.

I'll forgive you for confusing an inline with a muzzleloader

We have to wait until december for ours unless we use it during regular gun season.

My hawken is down and out for awhile still. That wolverine has nailed 3 deer so far and one was fell to the hawken.

Mine is 4 weeks after that. So get the Bunker busters warmed up so I can continue the streak!
