I shot my new rifle today. I love it. My first 2 shots at 25 yards were only 1 inch apart. I was surprised. I was shooting 80 grains of goex ff and ffff in the pan. I really didnt tinker to much with differnt loads i just wanted to get use to the rifle. I shot about 20 rounds out of it (swabbing the barrel after every shot.) I only had a hang fire once and it was all my fault. It did fire slow a few times but then i moved the powder more towards the outside of the pan and everything went smooth. I only shot it at 25 yards today and i couldn't notice much differnce in the 2 kinds of patches i used but next weekend i am hopefully going to experement with differnt loads. and i might try some great plains bullets out of it. God i love that gun. Thanks to all of you for the advice.
