Default Going to try this again

"Thanks to all who so freely share their knowledge.
Went out to a friends farm today and did a little shooting, as I would in hunting situations, with accessories learned from advice here.
With my Kodiak 209 and
Ron Laughlin breech plug +
STS primers
95gr. of Blackhorn
.250gr (.425) Gold Dot
MMP HPH24 black sabots
at 100 yards, shot a 4", 5 shot group, kneeling in the snow off shooting sticks (2), sitting on a 5 gallon bucket w/the sticks(1), off hand(1), and standing, shoulder against a tree (1). 27°F, 10mph wind from the west."
The above text was my original post back in Dec. (Great site)Tried to post a couple pics in another thread, and of course I'm technologicially challenged. Must be why I like muzzleloaders.
Gman57, rightfully so was looking for a pic., this is the target from practice back in Dec.
Not bragging just want to be up front, because I value all the members advice here, and it helped me get these results.
Also a pic of my CVA Kodiak.

Yes, my wifes Grandfather made it, North Carolina late 1930's. His hand written recipe was inside when it was given to my wife.

The table is an old library table cut down by my dad in 1956.

LOL, I learned a long time ago, when I miss (not if but when), only me to blame. My heart still goes into overdrive when I see a deer, when it doesn't, time to quit.
