Default RE: new muzzle loader

ORIGINAL: wannaBelkhuntin

I bought an Optima Pro this year and love it. Remove the screw in the foregrip and the barrel comes off for a thorough cleaning in the tub. This gun is so easy to clean I shoot it more. Shooting with my hunting partner 2 weeks ago he was shooting a Remington 700 bolt and a CVA Kodiak [I believe] with the rolling block, I had my gun cleaned and helped clean his.
The gun shoots awesome also, with 100 gr. of Triple 7 [loose powder] and 245 grain Powerbelt hollow points I was 3-4 inches high at 100 yds. and 3-4 inches low at 200 yds. Can't wait for September, I get to try for a Mulie in Colorado with my Optima Pro.
That sounds to be an excellent load. What unit are you hunting? I'll be all over in the Meeker area.
