No was using 85 gr. pyrodex rs and 240 gr. xtp when rifle, but have used the same charge in it with the 240 gr. xtp and 300 gr. xtp and it shoots the same just to a slightly different point of aim..
only thing I dont like about it is it has a very tight bore which contributes to it being accurate but its a pain to load.
Havent tried any looser fitting sabots, did try the longer(high pressure) black mmp sabots and it didnt like those at all plus they are almost impossible to get down the bore.

what exactly was involved making this? Like someone mentioned earlier, here in va they just passed a legislation allowing us to hunt on Sundays (woohoo!) and use blackpowder pistols for deer, im really interested in getting something like this i could carry and possibly take a deer out to 100 yards when im squirrel hunting, etc.

Also make sure you have a good hacksaw blade, clamp barrel in vise begin cut and put a little cutting oil in it to make it easier, barrels cut easy just dont rush and keep as straight as you can.

Im actually looking at one of these guns right now, thinking about picking it up but i just wanted some of your feedback first. Its cheap but the problem with it is it has a cracked stock that has been rigged up, so ill have to find some kind of replacement.Thanks for the reply and keep us updated.
