Default RE: T/C Black Diamond

I have one, and it is a great shooting rifle. The only thing I would be careful of is the breech wrench that comes with the rifle. It is not the best thing in the world. Get a 9" extension arm (it will reach past your scope that way) for your socket set and a 7/16th socket and it will take that breech plug and 209 nipple out real nice. If you're not running a scope get a Black Diamond Deluxe Breech Plug wrench.

Also watch the breech plug for seizing. I always turn it a little after 5 shots. That is the only thing that enclosed wrench is good for.

Mine will shoot almost anything I shove down it. You want some real accuracy shoot a T/C 250 grain Shockwave. Start at 100 grains of Pyrodex RS and work up from there. Mine smoothed out around 110 grains.

It also shoots 320 grain LEE R.E.A.L. conicals with 100 grains of Pyrodex RS very well.

you have a great shooting rifle there...,...
