Making Smoke in 2020

Wish everyone who's heading out a safe and successful hunt.

I'll be taking out my Traditions Pursuit Pro 50 cal with PR Bullets, 250 gr Dead Centres. Found they like 90 gr of Alliant Powder, which I have determined to be much better than BH209 buy unfortunately no longer available. So I'll have to be stingy with my last 1/2 lb...it was a Beta vs VHS type of marking situation and BH209 won HaHa.

My alternate ML will be a Parker Hale .58 cal Musketoon. I'll be using 60 gr of FFg Goex and my 426 gr Minnie Balls for that load.

Hopefully I'll have a story for you by weeks end and looking forwards to hear about all your successes.

Be safe ..keep your powder dry !!!

Good luck !!

Good luck
I am hoping to get out with a friend (party hunt) later on in the week....
Good luck to all and be safe....

Won't be the same without snow on the ground but good luck to all in their pursuit... Be safe and enjoy...

That's a bit more than necessary. HaHa...

We're getting rain down here in 66a...

Should be a good morning around here just ahead of a 3 day storm if one has a spot for an east wind.

Good luck everyone!

Funny you should mention, I went out a noon today and moved a blind from south of the trail to North of the trail...better chance the East wind will help me there.

Yes the Pop up will see some use for a day or two...but the end of the week looks great.

Yes once this system moves through it should be really good. Thursday and on here, maybe a little later your way.

oh im pumped. im hunting with a buddy and son and his son doesnt have a ML. he's not used to a bow so i offered for him to use the smoke pole. instantly regretted that decision but excited to be out! maybe he'll smoke a deer early so i can have some fun before end of week!

I took the Impact out to confirm zero and put the first cold clean barrel shot into the 10 ring at 100yds. I cleaned it up and put it away. Pumped for this week.

We are set but no smoke here!

Good luck all!

Sorry to hear that Jack...like driving a new Electric Harley...gets you there but just not the same :)

My first batch of BP is ready for the season..maybe I should pop by and see how it runs. So far shotgun testing has proven very good. But I havent tried my BP Hawkins yet.
