Picked up a new Betsy
Drydock:
Ordered and received an MVA Combination/Beach sight. Installation was easy thanks to my Wyoming Sight Drifter https://www.wyomingsightdrifter.com/ highly recommended if you mess around with dovetailed or friction fit anything. I had ordered a .378 sight based on my best guess, it was a little loose, but peening down the dovetail edges produced a nice tight fit. Probably should have got the .385, but this appears to work fine. Being a round barrel helps. It produced an excellent sight picture, far better than the original post and bead.

I played with some Blackhorn 209 earlier this winter in my new (to me) muzzleloading abomination (scope sighted and black plastic) I might have to try making a 55 gr load with that for the H&R
Drydock:
Put 21 rounds of 45-70 thru my H&R this afternoon, loaded with 47 grains (By weight) 2f 777. Getting the sights readjusted. Nice tight 3 shot* groups at 200 yards, no cleaning until I went home. That just fills a Starline case to the base of an Accurate 46-405c bullet. Been running around 3 moa bench rested. Good stuff in the H&R barrel.
I would prefer real black, but the H&R has made it clear this is what it wants.
*Steel plate at 200 yards. Shoot 3 rounds, walk to the plate, paint over, walk back, adjust, shoot 3 more shots, repeat. Good exercise.

Drydock:
Ran the OM at the Indiana Muster this weekend. Whole match with the above loads, no cleaning, no loss of accuracy or any other problems. Great fun.
Drydock:
Ran the OM HARD at the Atlantic Muster. Every shot hit steel. This is a great set up for skirmishing.
