I HATE CRUD RINGS! I was really hoping that I wouldn't have this problem today but... I got a patch and cleaning jag caught in my barrel twice. I had to take my breech plug out and push it through the the back of the barrel. Does that happen to anyone else? I'm fine as long as I don't push the patch all of the way to the breech plug, but if I do it gets stuck.

BLACKHORN IS OVERATED! I tried BH209 for the first time today. I ordered a NFPJ breech plug like three weeks ago and haven't got it yet so I tried it with the factory plug. I made it three shots before I started getting hangfires... I decided to run a patch through it before switching to 777, it came out almost as dirty as 777 would. My breech plug had a really hard carbon build up! I think that the carbon build up was my crud ring.

YOUNG KIDS AT THE RANGE SCARE ME! An old guy and two young kids showed up and went to the lane next to me. The range officer had to yell at them several times to not touch their rifles when the range was cold. After the officer left one of kids went to grab his rifle off the line. I had to remind them to not touch it (surprised that the old man didn't say something to me). Later. when I was looking down my lane, I heard one of the kids ask "what do I do?" and the old man say, "just take the safety off and shoot." I looked over and down the barrel of a loaded .270... When I have kids they are going to know firearms and firearm safety backwards and forwards before they even get to touch one!

MUZZLELOADERS CAN BE FRUSTRATING! After all of this crap, I still didn't my new scope sighting in well enough or shoot a decent group...
