Thanks for the replys everyone. Underlock: yeah, I corrected the problem by simply sighting dead on at 50 yds (2 inches high)... and now I shoot dead on at 100yds (2-3 inches high). I think the gun needed to be broke in a little more ... because now it's lights out with that thing. I guess the gun is done having a mind of its' own ... or maybe the shooter finally got his sh*t straight ... LOL

The grouping I got was scary with the red dot sight ... 1-1.5 inches at 100 yds. BTW ... the MOA on the sight is 3.

How much can I exect the slug to drop at 150 and 200 yds? Anyone have a guess? I'm using (2) 50 777 pellets with 250g sabots and winchester 209's.

I have one more concern. I can't shoot for crap off-hand at 100yds with the muzzleloader. I missed a friggen pizza box "3 out of 3" times at 100yds!!!, where asof the sand bags I can hit a largegrapefruit4-5 times at 100yds. What is the deal ... any ideas or suggestions? I discussed it with my dad and he thinks I am flinching after I pull the trigger since I'm not used to a ML. It's a little frustrating shooting that good on a rest and that bad without one. The only rifle I am used to shooting is a 30'06 and I am deadly off-hand with that thing. What do you guys think?

thanks in advance.
