[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2156177, member: 113278"] Just a word to the wise tho, make sure to remove the ramrod before shooting!!!!!! Don’t laugh. My brother wanted to use mine I built off a Savage 110 action. Needless to say he shot at a doe with 41 grains of A5744, fed 215m primer, Parker 250 grain ballistic extreme, a 7000 grain solid aluminum ramrod and brass spin jag. 7 stitches later a ruptured cornea, black eye, bloody nose, and bruise going from his collar bone to sternum I’d say recoil was extremely stout. Action breech plug and barrel thankfully for him stayed intact. Several stout loads after completely disassembling it and then shooting with a long string and sandbags I gave it a go to hunt with again. Actually held it’s zero completely tearing down and checking for bulges and stripped threads! It was only his second and sounds like last time muzzleloader hunting! I said when you pray tonight just be thankful it was a rifle action and good barrel!!!! He’s ok 3 months later except had a heck of a flinch shooting my creedmoor with a scope!!! I won’t post pics as he’s in law enforcement but I was mortified when I saw his picture on his way to the emergency room! [/QUOTE]
