Got out to 150 yards with the 58cal Hawken and am ready to drop a doe come September! 2 clicks up puts me perfectly out to 150 yards with 100gr Goex 2f, .020" Mink Oil Lubed patch and .570" Hornady round balls.
Top group was with the bore swabbed completely clean of fouling with no color on the patch. That far left was my fault as I felt the rifle bump over to the left as I squeezed the trigger. The other 2 in the center were Aprox 2 1/2" apart.
The lower 3 in the white were also with a swabbed bore between shots, but left lightly blue after running a couple dry patches down the bore.
Now the real fun? If its nice, Its time to back out to 170 yards, the max range I can shoot on my property without having to climb a tree.
