Thanks all for the reply's. I am using 209 primers, and yes I did remember that the pellets are directional. I bought the gun from a local gun dealer (friend) that was if I remember correctly, a promotional "kit". I came with the standard barrel, a riffled slug barrel, and the muzzleloader barrel. It has been a great gun, and I've taken my share of animals with it. The conversion takes about 30 seconds, and the biggest problem I have ever run into is trying to work with the primer especially when your fingers are cold. Our black powder season is during December. I did run out today to Gander's and picked up a new box of pellets some Hornady sabots. I will pay attention to the "tightness" of the sabot, makes sense and let you know how it works. Thanks again for the help,
Gary
