Went to the range Friday. Shot the Genesis for the first time. Load was 350 gr Hornady FPBs, 100 Pyrodex RS, Triple 7 209 primers. I swabbed between shots with 50/50 windex and alcohol. Did not notice any crud "ring". Used a range rod, the one on the gun is a pain.

Shot 6 times at 50 yds, two to get on the paper, then 4 at a Shoot N C target that I stuck on a pistol target that was already there. Tried to embed it in this post, hope it worked.The first two shots were about 3" high, through the same hole. I adjusted the scope then shot two more, about 1" center to center, about 2 inches high. Right whereI wantedit.

The gun functioned fine. I didn't have the trouble priming/depriming that some mention. The trigger was actually good, not sure whatweight, but about right for me on a hunting gun.Obviously the gun shot accurately, so no complaints there.

I had some trouble loading theFPBs. They were tough to get started, and the starter I was using wasn't meant for FPBs, kept getting stuck on the tip insert. The muzzle of the gun is overbored for about .75" to aid in starting bullets, but I think it makes loading FPBs harder. Can't really tell if you're centered or not. Once you get them lined up and press straight down, they do load pretty easy all the way to the charge. If anyone has a tip for loading these, I'm all ears.

The ramrod isbarely long enough. With the bullet seatedfirmly onthe 100 grain charge, the ramrod was nearly flush with the end of the muzzle. Going to look around for a custom rod I guess.
