Please disregard the "New Gun" and the "low powder charge" replies for a second and see my post here:

Today, I took my oldest daughter out for her first go at Muzzleloading and she loved it!

I also tried my round ball formula with a whopping 120 grains of FFFg APP!![][]

Still accurate out to 75 yards, 1.5 inch groups And I dare say that .440 round ball was SMOKING!!!!

My loading procedure is like this:

1. Powder

2. Empty Sabot, and compress powder load. Using just the blunt end of the ramrod.

3. Drop RB down the barrel.

4. Press RB into sabo, with the blunt end of ramrod.

5. Cap and fire!


Don't knock it till you try it.
