I'm glad to hear your first outing with the rifle went well. The important thing is you took your time and had reference material in case you got into a problem. These rifles are really a great experience. Those that shoot them learn quick how fast it seems, all they want to hunt with is muzzleloaders. Many of my friends even though can hunt with modern rifles at times still choose to use a muzzleloader.

They are accurate and if you tweak that load your using it will only get better. The more you shoot the more comfortable you become with them. Again, glad to hear your experience was so positive and I am sure when the time comes to hunt with one you will do fine. There is nothing as satisfying as your first black powder hunt.
