Here is a portion of my original post in the "Meet the Members" section:
I just came across this site today and started to look around some. I’m hoping to get the direction/instruction/advice that I need!
My dad and I are going to Iowa deer hunting in December. I figure that it is about time that I got out my Remington 700ML .50 cal (stainless steel w/ synthetic stock). My buddy talked me into getting it and started setting me up, we only got out together a couple times to shoot before he was killed in a car accident. It has been in my gun cabinet for over 15 years, so I am starting from scratch and need to get a refresher on HOW to use it as I really can’t remember EXACTLY what we did.
I see here that there is a “Hunter 700ML Bolt Nose conversion kit” that seems to be the THE kit to have.

*** So, Hunter should have received my bolt to install his kit on it to go with my stock barrel. (Just can't afford to get a barrel at this time)... Anxious to get it back, hopefully first of next week!!!
I've mounted a Weaver Marksman 4x scope on it.
NOW, I need some ammo! I'm hoping that I can get some bullet/sabot info from someone who has "been there, done that", since like I said earlier, I'm starting from scratch!
From what I've gathered here, Blackhorn 209 is the powder to get and I've located it at a sporting goods store about 60 minutes away, that I will get on my way to deer camp Thursday afternoon.
What kind primers, bullet/sabot/BH 209 grain combo's would any of you recommend that I start with to see what my gun will like?
Special jag needed with new modern bullet/sabots?
Cleaning supplies? How often to clean between shots, total breakdown, etc?
Anything else, that I need to consider, get, plan for, change, etc...
The clock is ticking, Firearm Deer Season opens here in Michigan this Saturday... Leave for Iowa December 10th! Thanks again!
