Great rifle. Clean it up as described above. Take it to the range. Get acquainted with your triggers. Rear is a set trigger, front can be used with or without the set trigger.

If you want to keep it simple this year, I can tell you that gun will almost certainly shoot 370 Gr. Maxiballs over 80-100 gr of Pyrodex RS VERY well. Certainly well enough to hunt with at ranges out to 100yds. If it were me andI had limited time, I'd sight in with 90 gr. and not look back. That load wilts deer! Maxiballs normally give full penetration on broadside shots unless you hit lots of bone.

You can mess around with different powders, projectiles like other conicals or evenroundballs in preparation fornext year if you feel the need.Roundballs are fine for deer butcan take more time and add yet another variable (patch material, thickness, etc).

Let us hear how you are progressing.
