Default RE: Remington Genesis Muzzleloader

I went into Cabela's about 2 weeks ago and saw them there (after reading the posts in here on them) and picked one up for $135 + a $35 mail in rebate. Total $100. Put a Nikon 3-9X Prostaff with BDC on it and already have it shooting almost MOA. My only concern was the blowback I am getting at the breach/barrel interface. I called Remington and this seems to be common (as long as it isn't too sever). This causes a fouling buildup on the underside of the scope. A wrap of electrical tape around the scope makes it easy to wipe off. One of the members (Cayugad) suggested wrapping teflon tape on the breach plug slightly overlaping the front of the breach plug and greasing. Apparently he is not getting this blowback. I haven't fired it since this was suggested.
Here is my last outing with it looking for the best load combo. Looks like 100 gr of Pyrodex P and 300 gr XTP (upper left group - #4)
