I just got to have my best range day ever with this frontstuffin' beauty.this was an unfired mantle gun when i bought it and i just could'nt get it to shoot PRB very good.after doing serches and asking questions on this site i stated shooting conicals.i would shoot a box of 425g buffalo bullets bring it home,clean it, and give it 100 strokes of JB bore paste. i've done that twice now so thought i'd try PRB again.I also mounted a T/C peep sight and one small dot of white paint to that thick front blade sight.I started at 30yds. with 80g vol.T7fff speer rb sittin' on .015 t/c patch lubed with bore butter.after a ruff sight in moved to 50 yds.moved the sights a few more times and was keeping all shots within 2" of bull.switched up to 90g vol. and wow! groups shrank down to 2" groups,things are coming together now :wink: this is with an over powder wad and musket caps but i'm going to try the REM.#11 caps and standard nipple next time out.THANKS to all and this site for your help and time saving tips :wink: .....karl
