What muzzleloading stuff did you do today?

[Ninering62]

Nice job! Looks Great!

My thoughts exactly

Shot a few 480 gr White conicals in my White Odyssey. They didn’t shoot too badly with 100 gr of FF 777, but at 110 gr they were all over the place. Went back to the 600 gr. Much better.

Morning ElDiablo:
Who makes the 600 grain you are shooting?

Went to the range and did some shooting with my youngest grandson, he's 13yrs old, he had a blast shooting my smokeless. I think he did a great job for the first time. This is a pic. of his targets. Was at 50yds with a 6mph crosswind!

Got an order in from Woodman Arms today including a beautiful nitrided thread protector for my Omega barrels. Fantastic design and workmanship as always!

Received my spiral, 24in Omega smokeless barrel from Woodman today. It was supposed to be delivered this past Friday but the USPS decided they wanted to keep it for a few extra days after telling me multiple times it would be delivered by 9 PM. VA has the 3rd worst on time deliveries.

Barrel is fantastic looking but it will not go in my laminated stock until I clear some room for the rear lug. I put it in a spare synthetic stock and I actually may just leave it in it. Looks good and will be a great stand/brush gun. Debated on mounting a 3-9X Sightron SII or 1-4X Bushnell Elite (30mm tube). I went with the Elite because it seems to fit/look better with the barrel.

The nitrided barrel came with a 209 breechplug, ramrod, stock screws (too long for my stock) and Woodman's scope mount. Cheap way to go smokeless if you already have an action and stock. Looking forward to shooting as soon as I can after the cataract surgeries.

That's a sweet looking barrel.

Congrats my friend

Just an FYI, the screws provided are intentionally long and are to be trimmed to the length you need. You will likely find them too long for any stock.

Thanks Ninering, looking forward to shooting it.

That's good to know about the screws Mark, I didn't realize that. Love the barrel, great quality workmanship. Thank you very much for making them.

John, Quick fix on those long screws to keep them from impinging on the ramrod is to space them out with a stainless washer or two. Simple.

 

[phalanx]

I thought about using the washers also. As luck would have it, none in my bag of stuff would fit properly. Next trip to the hardware store I'll be getting some.

 

[Dieselden454]

That made a great looking Smokeless. Enjoy it & great shooting!

I am sanding on the .45 rock sparker stock. It's factory but is/was a poorly supplied stock in my kit. Deep limb imperfections & very porous. I hate sanding wood. Once i get the worst sanded out i will apply my Pecan wood stain & wood sealer. It will stay that way rest of my life.

My cataract surgery got canceled by the surgical center as I walking out my door due to malfunctioning equipment so I set the breechplug up in the Woodman Omega barrel using El Diablo's excellent instructions he posted in an earlier thread. Overall BP length is 1.171" using Cheddite 209 primers giving me a crush of roughly .005".

Thanks El Diablo!!

No pics yet, but, I’m putting together a fully nitrided Omega X7.

 

[ElDiablo]

Finished cleaning up the nitrided Omega parts and got the lugs remounted on the X7 barrel. I may get the lugs welded one day but for now they’re bonded, Locktited and torqued.

 

[Ron Huff]

That is looking awesome El Diablo. I was cleaning the inside of the new Omega barrel with Hoppes and patches still getting crud from it. Not sure what is in it but it is not easy to remove.
