Cool looking gun! out of curiosity how does the bdl bottom metal work with the single shot action, and what is the point of bottom metal on a muzzleloader?

Mainly just for aesthetics, but depending on design that area can also be used for storage of powder tubes or bullets. Check out the following thread for more info on SML's.

 
I'm just getting ready to order a barreled action from hankins or arrowhead but this has me interested. What load are you using and what velocity?
 
Sorry guys, for some reason I'm not getting the email notifications and this is the first I've logged in all week. I'll answer everybody and stay on top this. Side note, is there a way to turn the email notifications?

I'm selling because I moved from Utah to Wyoming and won't be doing much muzzleloader hunting going forward. Because I was in Utah I had to hunt with Blackhorn209 powder even though the gun is smokeless capable. It's shooting sub MOA with me shooting.

100 gr Blackhorn209 (by weight)
325 gr Arrowhead XLD
Around 2400 FPS

I have a second smokeless muzzy that I play around with and have used on some any legal weapon hunts with smokeless powder. In that gun I'm shooting 65 gr H4198 with the 325 gr XLD going 2600 FPS. I could get more out of it but it shoots good I don't see the need. May end up selling this gun also but I haven't decided yet.
