Cay,

I just recently purchased the Wolverine with 22 inch SS barrel and synthetic stock. This is my first experience with muzzleloading. I started out using 60 grains and moved up to 80 grains which was shooting my Dead Center's made by Preciscion Bullet pretty much dead center at 100 yards. I would then fire a Powerbelt for ease of loading, trying to simulate actual hunting possibilities at the range which loaded with ease in a dirty barrel.

I was also shooting the TC Mag Sabots in 240 grain XTP's, I could still load the TC and Dead Center's after shooting a couple of shots but it was becoming tough. I occasionally wiped down the barrel with TC #13 pre coated patches. Usually after 2 or 3 shots, sometimes needing two patches, followed by a dry patch or two.

I was quite happy with the accuracy with all three bullets at 100 yards with the 777.

I would've liked to been able to purchase and Omega, but for the price of the Wolverine with a scope of $259, I had enough money to purchse all the other supplies I needed for less then an Omega (with syn stock/SS barrel) would've cost without a scope.

Happy Hunting
