Yep; good old kentucky windage. It's a fun game to play at the range but it's really hard to judge correctly all the time. 4" is very significant and very hard to judge.
Try telling that to those who think shooting at deer at 200+ yards with an ML is a fine idea! [:@]

Exactly!!!...The in-line is going to keep progressing into a weapon that most states should eventually remove from their muzzleloader seasons. I currently own 14 ML rifles and only three are in-line. I had four but gave one away to a very good friend as a birthday present. Ihave killed deer with all of them and each time I used one I felt like I was hunting with one of my centerfire rifles. Give me the Flintlock or the sidelock Percussion (if the weather gets crappy) and I feel like I'm huntingwith a MUZZLELOADER!!!!....BPS
