I was shooting a light load in the interest of conserving powder as well as to see where this new-to-me rifle was hitting @ 25 yds. As I had stated, I only made minor adjustments down (4-5 clicks) on the elevation and the rear sight is nearly bottomed out. I intend to get this rifle tweeked in for "plinking" and I will probably use it and a few others in the Blackpowder shoot I'm going to host this summer. I can't see using 90-100 grain charges when most of our shots will be under 50 yds. I have never been one to believe that the more powder you dump in em' the better they shoot, but I do believe that each rifle has it's own taste for the right combination of powder, patch, lube, and ball. I will probably try some heavier charges next time I shoot this rifle because I will eventually need to develop a load for hunting anyway, but I still have a sneaking feeling that I will have to change the front sight as the previous owner had the rear sight nearly bottomed already and I can see why.
