last day of the season it snowed all day i went home nid day collected myself and went back out for the evening.dirty breech plug and damp powder.I missed the gift of last day at fifty yards at last light. woops i learned something that day. My 1/8 inch drill bit should go through my breech plug.I am guessing the flash chamber was probably reduced by 40% from crud....I had a lot of blow backGoing to change to the slightly larger european primers,I got a little slop in the primer hole.

missed this thread.  i went out Sat and Sun.  no pictures to share though sorry.  had 3 hours to hunt that Saturday.  i ended up taking a buck at about 30 yards and only made it 40 before piling up.  Sunday we got hit with a lot of snow.  made it up on the hill some how around or through the snow drifts with the atv.  still hunted in the fresh snow and got within 40 or so yards of a doe.  we both spotted each other.  she was in hiding mode staring at me in her bed.  i squeezed off my only shot, the smoke cleared, and there she layed still in her bed.  getting back with her in tow was difficult.  many times i had to unhook her from the atv, walk the atv through the drifts, and then tow her through them by hand.  hung her on a scale in the garage back at home.  scale got to 100lbs, with no more room to raise, and her head and neck still planted into the concrete floor.  i love hunting with the muzzleloader.  just wish it wasn't so cold and stormy when i do.
