I had one of these that I put a Nikon pistol scope on. Super fun and accurate ML pistol! Killed a few coyotes with it. 80gr Goex and solid copper Barnes 250gr would cut holes at 75 yards and made wicked holes in coyotes!

I got this intending to use it, never did, never will! It'd make someone a nice addition. One week til muzzleloader season!

I have one. It's all I muzzleloader hunt with. Amazingly accurate and consistent. I have a friend that has shot an elk with one. Really nice piece.

Dumb question

Would a man shoot the same loads with this? As in same amount of blackhorn and same size bullet?

Shorter barrel will give less time to burn off the powder charge. I never tried blackhorn in the one I had. But I played with all kinds of different loose BP and BP substitutes and various bullets and sabots. They are fun guns to play with!

I've got one, you got to hang on tight when you shoot it!

Shot my brothers 1 time, not sure what load it was I suspect he topped it off with powder and packed the bullet in, once was enough . Love to have 1 but not a steady pistol shooter these days as I once was.

I shoot 80 grains of pyrodex FFF (for faster burn) with 240 gr XTP

Thanks Travis G.!
I haven't fired one so I can't offer any recommendations. I quit muzzleloading few years ago.
I do have an unopened bottle of Pyrodex RS (FF) that I'll put in the package if anyone wants it.
