550XP vs MS362

[rullywowr]

North East US...New England. Only 6mos... dang. Oh well I guess that means I only have to wait 6mos until I start drilling holes in the muffler etc. T-minus 2 hours and counting before she arrives Can't wait! Pics to follow.

Couldn't wait any longer.

Just over 150psi cold on the proper gauge now to FYI, 7ish tanks of fuel through it.

I'm looking forward to comparing the gains with the original cut times. I like it stock, really didn't feel compelled to do anything with the saw, even the muffler. But I came to my senses and opened her up a bit :msp_w00t:

That's one way to do it. I like to take the muffler off and blow a couple of holes in it with the 30-06. I turn it around backwards and try to nail it right through the back opening of the muffler, where it attaches to the exhaust port. That way I know the exhaust gasses have a straight shot through and are not bouncing around in the muffler shell causing undue heat build up.:hmm3grin2orange:

I have a 30-06, could give that a try...... :hmm3grin2orange:
What do you think about a 7mmRemMag? Too much? Maybe save that one for a bigger saw

I wouldn't go bigger than the 06 on a stock saw. If it's ported then you could probably go with the big gun.

I was thinking multiple hits from a .17HMR.

I think the .50 black powder would be a fun way to MM a saw.

Brad, is that a lefty?

I've got the same setup, black on black though, sporting a Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9. With 110gr. of Triple 7 and a Barnes 290gr. MZ, she will put as many as your man enough to shoot in the same hole at 100 yards. Kicks like a dang mule though. Lol

I do lub's muh ol' smoke thrower!!

Now I thought for sure you'd have a 1st generation musket

If it's an Omega then they're ambedextrous (spelling). I have one in all camo. If I buy another one I will buy stainless. Stainless is the only way to go in a blackpowder gun.

My omega isn't ambidextrous. It has a large trough for your forearm.

Stainless is a whole lot easier to clean, but I don't mind cleaning. On the bench, I clean after every shot.
