    So with the prospect of doing a vintage hunt ( hunters and rifles ! ) I loaded up 17 rounds of 500 express.

    They are pretty heavy so I put them in the scales out of interest.
    So 20 rounds would be 1kg exactly

    Then I moved on to sorting out my 50 cal muzzleloader I have converted the ignition nipple to a mag-spark 209 primer nipple.
    I had a slow fire when tahr hunting last winter in very cold conditions and wanted a more reliable ignition for hunting in bad conditions.
    So needed to check the point of aim and see how it all works.
    Primers go in easy and come out even easier.
    Just needed a tweak in the Malcolm scope and then I'm on the 100m gong .
    Aim 100mm high and it's hitting the 200mm gong every time until my shoulder told me to stop

    So now I'm ready to take some big chunks out of some tasty animals
