Justin, I'm thinking you were the one who posted some information about VihtaVouri N110 powder used in a muzzle loader? If so, I have some questions.

I've been looking since numbnuts got elected, and finally got some from a co-worker.

These are my current tools:

Encore 50 cal mag barrel

150 grains Pyrodex

T/C Shock Wave Super Glide Sabots

I'm set up currently 1" high @ 125 yards

My Questions:

How much 110 powder will I need to start with to get close to my current load?

What cleaning process do I need to follow?

Do I need to measure with a scale, or will a powder measure suffice?

TIA!

    I am going to be sort of in your neighborhood the end of next week. Actually I will be in Balitmore for a meeting, and end up with most of Saturday afternoon free. I know it is off your beaten path, but can you point me at any good gunshops in Baltimore? Otherwise, I will have to cruise bookstores...Mostly interested in shotguns, but rifles as well. Thanks!

    It isn't about posting guidelines.

    We clearly conversed AFTER the "name calling".

    Zulu is just picking sides.

    I went to the boat salvage yard yesterday. My impression from talking to them before I went was, there were ALOT of boat parts there. Well, if I were looking for a motor, you bet. Acres of motors. Not so much on boat furniture, much less on parts like your rod holder plugs. [V]

    When I talked to the woman on the phone this week, she said they had ALOT of boat seating and other parts there. They had one old car hauler type trailer with boat seating, mostly pontoon and speed boat. All of it was junk.


    So, I will redesign my seating plans for my boat. Not what I wanted to do, but I am tired of being nickel and dimed setting the boat up.

    SO, if I happen to come across some of those plugs at some point, I will let you know.

    just got the ammo you sent thank you Sir!
    i was hopeing that i would get some improved cartridges.
    have been wanting to make a 243win ackley, i have a rifle that i was going to do it to but smith said he would take close to 2" off the bbl because it has quite abit of throat errosion so decided that if the bbl was going to have 2" taken off was not worth it right now,i'll have to save up for new bbl i guess the rifle still shoots pretty good though.
    that 6.5-06 ackley looks very interesting to me now. [:D]

    How's the new long barrel smoke pole????????[:p][:p] Hope the rain stoped and you got to go to the range. Keep me posted on result's.

    I went to the range Friday and fired the 222 Tryed some heaver bullets at 300 yards, same thing inch and a half gropes. (we have met the enemy and they are ME) It's getting down to the point of me or it,Aint ready to give up yet.[:(]

    Took my Remington 7mm08 out and did the same thing at 300 yards, the first 2 shots were about 3/4" Then the 3rd went up about inch and a quarter, Warm barrel I supect. Or me. It had a factory set trigger and it was rough, when I got home I adj it. I have had that rifle for about 4 Mo's and have worked up loads for it, Kept forgeting to adj trigger, Im going out to the range again Tuseday, will let you know how thing went.

    Give that big yello gard dog a kiss for me.[:D][:D]

    www.dnrsports.com

    they took the prices off the webpage,...probable due to the price fixing policy of nightforce,..but if you call them they will give you a price over the phone.

    If I recall the NXS breakdown went like this
    5.5-22x56 $1100
    8-32x56 $1199
    12-42x56 $1350

    My 8-32x56 works great for the long range stuff,....she brought me home a 3.502" 5 shot group at the 600yd match today,...with a 15mph wind!!!!![:p][8D]

    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
    Got Balistics?

    You may also try www.brunoshooters.com they state in their precision shooting magazine add that they will match any legitimate advertised price. I don't know what they mean by "legitimate" advertised price,..but it could be worth a phone call anyway.[:)]
