Richard Eames said:Probably more line matches have been won with a T/C Hawken with a 15/16" GM barrel in 45 than any other combination that can be put together.
I know one line shooter who has put 40,000 balls down a GM percussion and 40,000 balls down a GM flintlock barrel and they are still winning matches.

Now if the “corrected” figure were used it would be 23 or so shots per day. Not impossible at all if you even consider he shoots a 100 shots on some days and nothing for three days.
Personally I shoot about 50 shots a month but I shoot other guns too so it limits my muzzle loader time.

By the way, do any yall put as much of a cone / crown on a muzzle as GM does their drop-ins? When doing a muzzle I always start to cringe a little once it gets much past a smoothed inlet radius. GM puts a 45 degree chamfer, sometimes 1/32" and sometimes a little over a 1/16", apparently depending on how big the bore is. Just wondering.
