I forgot to add that I never did join the N-SSA. I stayed with Cowboy Action Shooting CAS. But I still love taking the Zoli to the range. I also make my own bullets for the gun. I have an RCBS Hogdon .578 mold which is a 400 gr. weight. The 41 gr powder load is a little low, but was just right for N-SSA comp.

I would like to up the load to 65 grs. and work from there for hunting loads. I had to replace the rear light and have it drilled for 50 yds. The flip leaf still needs to be jigged and sighted for 100 yds. I also had the front sight replaced with a taller one.

Sorry guys. All of the target files from guns I no longer own got tossed out a few months back. Even deleted the Photobucket folders.

I never shot any Minié balls from that gun. But it was quite accurate with round balls and a hoot to shoot.
