I very much understand that this is not a CF gun, and I have no intention of pushing my guns at or beyond the sensible limit. Knowing the limit does not mean going beyond it, just more knowledge. As for the guessing, just a figure of speech. Relatively new to muzzleloading, so it never hurts to know the parameters. Definitely not my first rodeo with shooting in general, but still come up with lots of questions in regards to muzzleloading. So, far it has been a blast!
