[QUOTE="tn gunman, post: 5398568, member: 10304"] I still haven't shot this muzzleloader yet, I thought my loading jag would work with my bullets, I should have checked it cost me over a week waiting on one that would. Took me a lot longer to get bullets sized to my liking as well. The heat, work, and my 2nd round of Covid this year, also slowed me down. I'm off quarantine today and off work for the next few days I'm going try to make it happen. I have dry wool, lubed wool, and fiber wads going to start with no wad and see how it groups if it shoots good I may not use a wad if it doesn't Im definitely going try the dry wool first. I didn't Draw in Kansas last year myself went into this years drawing with a preference point somewhere around 6000 didn't Draw last year. This muzzleloader has a 20 MOA Rail and Right now I have a hunting scope on it a Leupold VX5-HD 4-20 I have a tactical Nightforce NXS I'm sure has more travel I can rob off a rifle I hardly ever use if I need to. This alone would roughly add another pound to this setup. I remember reading about Bad Bull Muzzleloaders they specifically recommend that you use no less 130g and no more than 140g of IMR 4350. I know that it's a slower burning powder than the H 4895 that I plan on useing and I'm sure that's how they get away with using that large of a charge without over pressureing those rifles but there is no way even with the best brake available, that those rifles with that amount of powder don't kick the living crap out of whoever is shooting them they look like sub 10 pound hunting rifles but I don't have a clue what they actually weigh in at.
