JagDog, I don't mean to be a smartypants, but you are asking way too much of any muzzleloader! My guess is that you haven't shot one yet. It would be nice if you could find someone who could give you a lesson before you buy a new gun. If you were here in Iowa, I would love to get you to the range. You are asking for performance like I would expect from a .270 and it's not gonna happen. Good luck! Jim
