RE: blown scope, lead sled to blame?
It does POP you pretty good
I call it the "land cannon"
I am not afraid of recoil the 835 should prove that.
I am just looking at different way of becoming a better shooter/hunter
I always pratice from many shooting positions regardless of the weapon I'm shooting before hunting.
I am taking advantage of new technology and finding my own way and I glean a little knowldge from every post I read
Congrats to you sir on your Muzzleloading cum laude award on the MM forum if that is you
