well, i went out today and bought some powder instead of pellets, and some power belt slugs 295. Now i will go back to the range with a gun rest and see what happens. I am not a quitter so if this happens NOT to work, then i will try a couple of different slugs. I appreciate all your help guys. I will probably go to the range tomorrow.And i will keep everyone posted.

After you are done beating your brains out and are ready to throw that thing in the trash. Go out and get your self a Knight, Knight green sabots, Hornady XTP 240gr bullets and some pyrodex 50 gr pellets and then you will be able to sleep at night....

By the way mine shoots M.O.A groups at 100 yards

I have a Black Diamond. I use 100 grains of Pyrodex Pellets and a 295 grain CVA Powerbelt bullet. I cut holes at 50 yards.

i have a black diamond and love it .i use 110grains of pyrodex powder and shoot hornady 240 gr xtp.they are awsome and i shoot dead on at 125 yds and 2 inchs high at 50yd .i use the muskett caps and have never had a problem withthe gun ,i am a user of guns in that i feel it is a tool and i use it i am not anal about cleaning it and keeping it pretty so if i can get it to group any body can ,one thing though is to try to be as consistent as possible in the loading in how many taps on the stocks to seat the powder and how many flicks onto the measurer and so forth it does make a diff,

I also have a black diamond I use 100 gr. 50/50 pyrodex pellets 295 gr. .50 cal powerbelt bullets and also use the 209 shotgun primmers at 100 yards I can put the shot where i want it this year I droped a deer at 90 yards shot was right where i put it never had a missfire or any problems and i shoot it all the time at targets
