I've had this ultra cheap muzzleloader, that I bought at the local farm store for less than $100, for over 7yrs now. Also some years ago, a friendly gunstore owner talked me into buying a pound of American Pioneer FFg.
After reading the American Pioneer reviews of Randy Wakeman I wasn't expecting a whole lot. Loaded 110gr by volume under TC's 200gr Shockwave sabot (40 cal bullet) and let 3 of them fly in the direction of a 100yd target. The first shot was about 4" high, the next two were 1/2" lower and touching! I don't know what Wakeman was doing wrong, but it appears his evaluation of APP needs updated! I couldn't ask for anything more out of a rifle I paid less than $100 for and a powder that is so easy to clean up after!
The rifle's a CVA Buckhorn and came with a scope and all the accessories a beginner would need. I'm guesstimating that 110gr of powder ought to get that 200gr bullet going slightly over 2000fps. That's in the neighborhood of 35 Rem performance! I'm sighted for 200yds and anxiously awaiting Ohio's muzzleloader season.
I don't know how much it effected the accuracy, if any, but soon after I got the rifle, most of the hollows in the forearm got filled with epoxy. I'll have to see how it does with some of the Lee Modern Minnie bullets I have a mold for, but for this year, I've got plenty of the 200gr Shockwaves.
