38-55 CB Conversion is ready
Posted: 09 Oct 2012 08:06
Yesterday Mike & I finally got some range time together. We got our 50 cal muzzleloaders checked & sighted and also verified settings on two rifles, Mikes 7 mm Rem and my 38-55 336CB Conversion which was originally a 336A 30-30. The attached picture is a 100 M 5 shot group, the uppermost hole on the right side has two shots through it.
Saturday our early muzzleloader antlerless season begins and it lasts a week. Mike has some time coming so we'll get to hunt together 4 or 5 days out of the 7. The final three days of this season senior and junior hunters are allowed to use conventional rifles and that is the reason for getting the 38-55 ready. Load being used is 32 gr. of IMR 3031 and your 235 gr. bullet. I have been itching to kill a deer with it but so far only managed a coyote. Maybe this year will be different.
These scoped leverguns really bring out the accuracy potential of a finely designed bullet. Is it too late for you to throw in your hat to join the race for president?
