Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Any last minute advice before I try this?

Well here goes....

After lots of reading, talking (listening) to folks, hesitation, and cold starts.....I'm finally ready to try my hand at Black Powder.

The good folks up in Big Timber gave me just the nudge I needed to put together my first loads for my Long Range Express in 45-120.

A couple of $$ later and some other folks at Buffalo Arms shipped me some GOEX Fg, 0.060" veggie fiber wads, and a few 545 gr boolits.

I'm planning on getting to the range tomorrow to see how it does.

Is there any advice you Gentleman may have on shooting this rifle?

I have two loads to try - one with 110 gr and one with 105. In both cases, I have the base of the bullet seated against the wad and the ogive is kissing the lands. Powder is compressed 0.250" and 0.125" respectivly. COAL with this combo is 4.080"

Thanks
