Default RE: Newbie in PA/PA Pellet

I just went to the range with my new Traditions Pa Pellet flintlock and found a load and sabot that shoots great. I tried the Thompson Center 250 grain Shockwave sabot and was impressed with the results. I loaded 10 grains of 4f followed by 80 grains of 2f Triple Seven. At 25 yards I had all three shots touching dead center about 2 inches high. I moved the rear sight down slightly and shot another round. This shot was dead center about an inch high. I then moved back to 50 yards and shot 4 more rounds. All four shots were in a 2 inch group dead center about 1 inch high. If you shoot the Shockwaves in the Pa Pellet, use a little T/C bore butter on then as a lubricant. Without the lube they are hard to get started. With the bore butter they load easily.
