If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

I know you didn't ask me but... I have IRM White Hot 50gr pellets for the ignition, 250gr TC Shock Wave sabots, and Federal 209 primers for the go switch. The gun is a TC Triumph (I think). I'm borrowing it from my BIL. The fiber optic front sight broke on mine and I replaced it with the factory one. I didn't get a chance to sight it in before the season, so he was nice enough to offer up his. This is a really nice gun. Light, real light. Simple to use, easy to clean, nice to carry. It's never punched anything but paper and I hope we can change that this weekend.

IRM white hot is new to me.
I'm still working on a can of american pioneer gold FFG.
Been pouring 100 grains, hornady SST 250 gr sabots and a rem cleanbore 209 primer.
When I empty the american pioneer can I'm working on I'm going to try BH209

I was looking at the White Hot last night. I got the 777 w/250 gr sabots in T/C and remington 209 Primers for my CVA. hopefully just get out and shoot it now. Looks simple to clean this gun which will be nice.

I got a tool box full of goodies from Andy to use and the White Hots were in it. All the stuff was/is. If I was buying it, I'd get the 777. It shoots cleaner than the Pyrodex. I've never had a problem with any of the primers I've used.

Looks simple to clean this gun which will be nice. The newer inlines are pretty simple to clean. I have a Rem M700ML and it's not that user friendly to clean, but it shoots great and is a twin to a 700 rifle, if you're used to one it's a simple transition.

Stan,
Why is the Model 7 you all time favorite? I too, have an all-time favorite, and I enjoy listening to WHY others have a favorite.
So others, chime in as well, what is your all time fav and why?
What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

My buddies brother called us sunday night said we had to come over and see what he got. We're thinking a monster buck that he'd been telling us he been watching. we get there and he grabs the horns to this buck in his truck and pulls it out. we thought and looked at each other and said whats so special bout that. He then grabbed the legs and flipped them open. hadn't been gutted yet. it was all Female between those legs, nips and all! No dinger on this Doe. Nicest rack i seen on a doe though! Hey BP, that's one of them picture moments ya know------------
