hey coleman have you tried it yet
Matter of fact, I got the chance to try it out this past Saturday. Our muzzleloader season opens this Wednesday, so a friend and I went to the rifle range. I had used this method on mine, he did his with a laser. My first shot was 2" low and dead center (L-R), his didn't hit a 18"x18" target. After 3 or 4 shots, he was cussing his scope, mounts, bullets, etc. when I asked to see his gun. I took the breech plug out, set it on the rest, looked down the barrel, and checked the scope. With the barrel lined up on bullseye, his scope was over a foot low. I adjusted the scope to match the barrel, and his next shot was within 4" of bullseye. Before the day was over, I had done 3 other people's muzzleloaders and 2 deer rifles. It made me feel like a big dog to have people bringing their guns over to my bench and asking to "see what I could do" with them.
So, long sory short, without a doubt (for me), this method works. I'd even say it's better than laser sighting (if not BETTER, ALOT less trouble and cheaper), and if I can do it, ANYBODY can.
