    Mcgowen Barrel Reviews

    Man, after reading this thread I feel lucky. I sent off my 700ml to them last year to have a smokeless barrel spun on it. When I got the original invoice it stated my trigger was broken. So not off to a good start, well then to my surprise I get a shipping notice that my rifle is on the way back...

    Careful what you wish for! TC Encore questions

    I got my first MGM barrel this spring in 6.5 PRC, I was starting to get frustrated with my groups. The gun showed real potential then would be kinda inconsistent as you describe above. This was all during their prescribed break in process. Once I started shooting the gun and not cleaning so...

    Careful what you wish for! TC Encore questions

    I buddy that I worked with had a Pro Hunter that he had to shim the stock bolt like that, one thing to check would be the locking lug springs. I had to place a BB behind one of my barrel for it to fully engage the locking lug, and even after that I have to really snap the gun closed, if I am to...

    Careful what you wish for! TC Encore questions

    Give Mike Bellm a call, he was extremally helpful when i called him about issues I was having with the spring kit I had installed for 10 years. He should be able to get you on the right track even if it is sending it back to him. I have a standard stainless encore for 18 years, the first 10 it...

    How long to leave BH209 in muzzleloader before firing?

    If the gun isn't fouled I've left it loaded from end of season until the next fall and use that load to check zero.

    what distance do you feel comfortable with blackhorn?

    Well most of my hunting in done in crop fields or cow pasture about 12 years ago my buddy and I helplessly threw 3 shots each at a wall hanger buck that was just over 200 yards away. Since that day our motto has been if we can see him we want to be able to take a shot at them. Woods hunting is...

    what distance do you feel comfortable with blackhorn?

    I'm curious at what ranges people are comfortable taking their shot with a standard muzzle loader using blackhorn209? To preface this I have been shooting blackhorn out of my encore and in recent years a 700ml. When i first started shooting blackhorn I was amazed I was able to shoot constantly...
