And it usually doesn't for me.
That said, I got myself ready for the Michigan muzzleloading season on Sunday. I have a TC Encore that I had been resisting the jump to BH 209 basically because I'm cheap. Well, after comparing the price of BH 209 to 777 mag pellets my math wasn't so good. That allowed me to rationalize stepping up to Barnes 290gr TEZ's. I had it close to sighted in about two weeks ago but shooting in less than stellar wind conditions. So just fine tuning the Encore.
I also have an older TC Black Diamond that is great condition and is getting handed down to the kid. This was the one that "the plan came together". I had leftover a vacuumed sealed box of 777 mag pellets, sabots, and 265 gr Hornady FTX bullets. They shot better out of the Black Diamond then when I tried that combo in the Encore last year........amazing.
Here's the final target at 100 yards. The red marked shots are the Encore and the other 4 are the Diamond. There was a scope adjustment after the shot that's high right and the other 3 are money. This is probably a pretty boring post but, I usually don't get this lucky and just had to share.
