Well I want to thank everyone for their words of wisdom and help. I met smokpole at a gunshop here in Va. yesterday and with his help have a very good starting point for smokploe shooting. I decided to stick with ammo and powder that I could use quickly and was easily found. I went with the Knight 260 grain sabots and pyrodex select 100 grain. The gun held some very tight groups at 50 yards and when I moved to the 100 yard shots found it was shooting way to the right, I walked it in after about 12 rounds to where my last sabot cut a bull. Go to the off season forum if you would like to read about my 9 year old twins experience shooting pops smokepole. Again many thanks to all of you and to smokpole for helping out in person.
