Took First Place Today

That's going to be some of the tastiest coffee when you drink it from a trophy like that.

I assume you meant swab, no I didn't. The Triple 7 shoots pretty clean.

My wife and I use T7 exclusively and I be seen others swab between shots with T7. They claim that swabbing between shots really keep their barrels accurate. I’m going to try your method. BTW I just checked my post and realized my typo. Yes swab..

I have a bunch of Goex and Swiss that I tried in the Hawken, all it did was gunk up the barrel, T7 is the ticket for that rifle. Now if I get done shooting a line match, I will swab with a couple spit patches before doing a woods walk where I will be firing another 20-30 shots.

Lol! Especially in front of my competitor friends.

My wife is very recoil sensitive. She’ll be happy with a 30 gn powder measure, so I’m taking a 30-30 win case and with a slight mod, she’ll be much more comfortable knowing that accuracy won’t be taking a back seat to comfortable shooting. I was going to make her a 50 gn measure, but seeing that 30 works, I’ll go that route for her.

I wish something like that went on around here...

When I lived in Northwest Florida, I participated in the Escambia River Muzzle Loaders' matches.

I have a TC 58 big boar, 2 TC 54's and 50 Renegades that shoot consistantly good groups with 30gr of T7 and 015 wonderlube patches. I still need more practice with my 2 54 flints. They do fine on woods walks hitting steel targets but my 10 ring accuracy needs help.

 

[Cattywompuss]

Congratulations!

I'm sure there are some good shoots in Florida, Google Florida State Muzzle Loading association, I tried adding the link but I couldn't get it to paste in, most states have a site like this. I do about 12 shoots / Rendezvous throughout the year, a couple are 1 day events but most are full weekends, great fun and good people.

TC Hawken was my first competitive gun! Are you using the link icon between the font size, and the insert image icon?

Your using T7 in your flinters too?

Yes, I copied the web link, then attempted to paste it in the link icon, it didn't go in in, I done it before and it has worked.

No Goex and Swiss, lol I have tried T7 in them with terrible results. Flints have to have BP.

Thats what I figured, but then I figured you could have found a magic formula to make T7 work in a flinter Speaking of BP, I came across a really weird can of powder, called "Meteor" sporting powder in an orange can. I've never heard of this before.

Interesting, never heard of it. I just looked it up, made in Great Britain and distributed by C-I-L Ammunition in NY. Looks like the tin has value, hold onto that one.

You can take some loud and long sips just to make sure they look at it.

Do you know who made the cup?

 

[Rifleman1776]

Congrats. Your coffee will always taste better from that cup because memories come with it. I still have my trophy from the first match I ever shot in. It was for lowest score for the shooter who competed in all 15 matches for the days.

 

[Togo]

Do you know who made the cup?

I don't have that answer yet, I just emailed the person listed as a board of directors in charge of muzzleloading, hopefully he response and I will share.

 

[Grenadier1758]

One of my most favorite trophies is the mug I won on my first Woods Walk. The team came in third. It wasn't until later that we noticed that all our mugs had an error. All of them were emblazoned "3rd Place Woos Walk". We all agreed that if we were to place in a Woos competition, that coming in third was a lot better than coming in first.

@Togo, enjoy your drinks from that cup. It will always have great flavor and bring up a great memory.
