Big Thanks To Everyone!
#1
Just wanted to say thank you to all those that responded to my previous post.
I called Cabelas this afternoon and told them to cancel the return/exchange business.My12mm socket and 3/8" ratchet worked just fine taking the breech plug out as didthe allen wrench set I use for my compound bow. I got to take it out this afternoon and for the first time ever shoot a muzzleloader. I gotta tell ya it was a lot of fun and I don't know how everyone else's shot, but I put my first three shots in the 10 ring at 100 yds with the iron sights(don't think I'll need that itty-bitty allen wrench teachhunt). My father-in-law's .375 didn't shoot that well and he had a pro install the scope and bore sight it.
I was shooting 90 gr of 2f 777 and a 240 gr T/C Cheap Shot sabot. I know it's cheap ammo but I spent all my money on the gun
.
Again, thanks everyone!

Well it sounds like you have it all under control and already worked up a great hunting load. Congratulations on a great rifle and I hope you keep having as much fun shooting the muzzleloaders as I do. They are addicting, so be careful or next thing you know you have rooms full of them.

Glad to hear it!!! Mine didn't shoot worth a darn out of the box(sights not on). I bought 245 grain powerbelts to shoot it some more. I got some good groups out of it so far. Congrats on getting it before they were gone.
