[QUOTE="TX mountain hunter, post: 1913777, member: 29141"] Yes sir. FrontierGander was extremely helpful getting me setup with all I needed. Yesterday my son and I took it to the range and I was able to get some 395 gr plains bullets that he casted grouping under 1.5” at 50 yards. Which for me who is new to muzzleloaders and open sights I was very pleased. with 75 grains of Old Eynesford we were pushing 1284 fps and with about 83 gr we were at 1368 FPS with about a 2.3” group. With that load I should be able to carry 863 pounds of energy out to 200 yards with only 20” of drop and less than 10” group or 5MOA (all in theory which will be tested and fine tuned over the coming months prior to hunting season). We didn’t have much range time but my son was able to enjoy shooting some balls as well for an enjoyable trip. That evening we spent a couple hours breaking it down for a thorough warm soap water cleaning as well as did a slight peep adjustment for our next range trip. Thanks to all who have helped kick me off down this path. Especially FrontierGander who has gone above and beyond time and time again.
