When do you sight in your muzzleloader?

Just over a month away. It's just about time to get out the muzzleloader and go sight it in. When do you guys?

I recently bought a new muzzleloader. I've only bore sighted it so far but after going out handgun shopping this weekend I plan on putting some holes in paper with it.

put a new scope on last week hoping to hit the range on wednesday.

Last Saturday, but it's new. Normally I'll take one to the range a couple of times during the summer and see if it's still on. That'll be easier now that I have a smokeless ML. Darn thing seems very accurate. Heavy, but kicks a bit . . . CB

Anytime between now and when the season starts. We sight in our rifles at the same time. I personally like to wait til the temps drop from summer time.

Whenever I find time, which is usually after I want to get it done.

Mine was sighted in shortly after I bought it, then I took it out and checked it a couple weeks ago.

Mine has been sighted in for years. I usually check it with one shot a week or so before season but it consistently will put them on a tennis ball at 150 yrds and has not had an adjustment in years. I have hunted with black powder in years though.

Yeah, I have the same load in my smokless from last season.
I'll shoot it cold, and then let everything cool off and shoot it again several times with a cold barrel each time.
The cold barrel shot is the most important. I don't make scope changes on a hot barrel.
