So, I recently found myself buying my third BP gun already, and my first forum purchase, a cool Belgian SXS from MedicMike. (My other guns are a CVA Kentucky .45 and a Pietta .36 revolver.)

    1" groups at 25 yards, 10" at 50 yards?

    I have been silently perusing these boards for a few weeks and have learned a lot from you all - so thank you. I am the new owner of an old CVA Kentucky .45, gifted by a neighbor who had it in his closet for years. My first muzzleloading experience (actually, this is my first powder burner of...
