I have been toying with the idea of globe peep sights for my T/C New Englander muzzleloader but for now I am sticking with the factory open sights. I don't yet feel proficient out past 100 yards anyhow but with practice maybe we will get there.
I am relatively new to black powder rifles but I have heard that most sight their rifle in to be dead on at 75 yards. I have heard that puts you about an inch low at 100 yards.
What do you fellas do? I don't plan to shoot over 100 yards so I think the 75 yard zero could be ideal for my intentions. Am thinking to use this on a deer hunt next year using either patched round balls or the Lyman Maxi-Ball 275 grainer.
I only have FFFG Triple Seven on hand right now, any suggested loads for both the round ball and that Maxi-ball?
