It looks like the one in the picture - of course, it's a reproduction.
I'll shoot it when I get some time, and report back.
Thank you for the help.

It uses the pistol action. Quite a small one.

My first barrel from Bob was a shallow round bottom groove job - I've been sold on them ever since. Had Ed Rayl do a lot of them for me over the years.

I have always had best results with HPs using a binary lead/tin alloy. Adding antimony to the mix causes a loss of ductility.

He may be using an unsuitable bullet alloy.
I have always used a temporary front sight electrical taped on - shoot it and get it where you want it. The maths will take you from there.

A Mack B61 is a big truck - not a pickup. Post a picture of what you're doing.

Apparently no one here has shot a muzzleloader like this.
My deer rifle is a 50 caliber flintlock with a 1 in 95 inch twist, round bottom rifling. 75 grains of 3F with a patched (not very tight)...

Wayne is probably safe from that now that he has documented the problem (everything is dated), both in the emails and here, and on other forums.
