I got lucky and picked up a Zoli Zouave for only $200.



These are great guns to shoot. But I noticedthatyou are loading it withvery large powder charges. I load mine to lower charges of only 41 grs. of FFF Goex.



I am sure that these guns were never loaded to such high charges. I believe theywere onlyloaded to no more then 60 grains, if that. This target results was discovered after shooting manydifferent minis and powder charges. I use this mini:



I have not tried to shoot a PRB in my gun. Don'tknow the actual twist rate for mygun, but if some guys are shooting the PRB with a lot of success it must be in the neighborhood of a 1 in 48" twist rate I would think.

I haveyet to take it into the woods during deer season, but will think about it next year. It is a little heavy, but sitting in a tree stand would make it a lot more comfortable.

Thought I would throw in these photos for all you photonuts.
