We have a lot in common. I lost the sight in my right eye too, and bought a LH GPR. I've sold the gun, but I regret it now.

I had to learn to shoot left handed. Same for you? It's funny, because as awkward as it was at first to shoot left handed. It's so natural now that shouldering a gun right handed feels funny now. Same for you?

I shot and sighted in my brand new Lyman GP rifle yesterday and was very happy with the accuracy and such using 90 grs of Triple 7, a .530 RB and a .010 lubed patch. I was wondering tho how much of a diff a .535 RB might make as well?
I may have to try that combo someday after the hunting season is over - just out of curosity!
