Default RE: Newbie questions on T/C Black Diamond

I bought a Black Diamond a couple of years back and I am really happy with it. I prefer the musket caps, because they throw a lot more fire than the no. 11s, and are easier to put on and take off than the shotgun primers.

Also, you can seal them to the nipple with fingernail polish, and then put a piece of tape over the muzzle, to make the gun virtually waterproof.

I also recomend trying Pyrodex pellets with this gun. I sarted out using three 50 grain egiv. pellets, but have since backed down to two, which still provides plenty of power, with less recoil and muzzle-blast, but you might want to play around and come up with your own load (the pellets also come in thirty grain).

I have achieved fine acuracy with this gun, and have used it to take several deer.

Good luck and happy hunting.
