Here is what Toby BRidges reports on his website in a comparison of H777, BH209 and BM XP: "Black Mag XP - This powder tends to have a slight edge over FFFg Triple Seven when it comes to getting the bore "spotless". It leaves a fine fouling that will allow the muzzleloading hunter to load and...

bullet, It is a .451" English Sporting Rifle from Doc White. http://www.whitemuzzleloading.com/image ... 0Rifle.htm and scroll down...jim

bullet, The custom ML is an itch that is not always easy to scratch. I should have one coming in a week or three, Lord Harry and the creek don't rise! Your point blank range to 200 yards sounds really cool; I have hunted many places you could not see that far. Of course I ranged a really nice...

My dad shot a M20 Savage in .300 Savage, and one uncle also from his M99. I have owned both .300 Savage and .308 Win, and the Savage was the inspiration for the Army to develop the .308. I would definitely hunt with one, we all shot the 180 gr loads. jim

I have some Blackmag XP coming, and it is reported to have all those virtues and will ignite with a #11 percussion cap. jim

There are many recommended cleaners. I have three different ML rifles that I decided to clean with different preparations: Ballistol (cut 50% with water); alcohol (also 50% water) and Gunzilla. Jury is still out... jim

I stay away from it because I mostly use #11 percussion caps...jim

You can PM or email me and I will give him a call. I also know a paper patch guy, he is a BPCR shooter and I need some ML questions answered...thanks...jim

YS, Thanks for the bullet data, I used the 348 gr Powerbelt in Colorado before I got onto the Bullshop Bullets. I like the "heavy" part of ML bullets anyway. ;) jim

Rod, You are most welcome, and please call me Jim...jim

bullet, What size are your bullets before you paper patch them? That sounds like a fun way to go. Are they difficult to load? thanks...jim

YS, What bullet did you use on the deer? thanks...jim

My M721 Rem started life as a .30-'06 but has been rebarreled to .280 Rem. I put it in a synthetic McM. M700 stock years ago. The M721 action tail piece sits up a bit, but you don't really notice. Some folks convert to Sako/M-16 extractors, but mine is still original. jim

Pop, I have sold off all my mediums except the .375 Ruger in the African Hawkeye. I like the walnut and blue rifles, and I can recommend this one. jim

As is usual with most things there is more to the warranty story. Leica is revising their warranties to comport with European Union regulations. Additionally the LRF warranty is limited by the electronics of the laser transmitter and receiver. I am still running my CRF 1200 Leica rangefinder...

I am dickering with a gent who wants all three, I will advise if the deal does not go...jim __

My favorite is mule deer at least in North America. If we get to go international, then it has to be Cape buff. jim

I've been putting those .375 RUM vibes out into the universe, it is only a matter of time before one shows up. ;) jim

rus808, Thank you, sir! jim

I hope shooters will be able to post that they are happy with Vortex's service, but that remains to be seen. I know what they say on their website, but electrons are cheap. I do admit in the past to returning a scope to a manufacturer just to see how long it would take them to tell me it was...
