Howdy Oldman. :hatsoff: Welcome to the Forum.
I have a feeling you're going to like that .54 GPR. I know I like mine. :thumbsup:

Whereabouts are you in Illinois? Anywhere near the Peoria area?
 
Welcome Al, always good to see another graybeard join in. You are never too old to learn something, and this is the place to learn about muzzle loaders.
 
That ain't too far. If you ever want to get together and do some shootin' just give me a holler. I'm in Pekin and belong to the Midwest Gun Collectors range up between Spring Bay and Lacon.

The Illini MLers Club shoots there twice a month from April to October and we could always use more shooters. Pretty good bunch of guys. We have a lot of fun shootin' and BS-in'. If you'd be interested I can give you more info.
 
Welcome to the forum :thumbsup: I'm from "downstate" Illinois.. and I'm sure you will learn alot from the fellow members of this site, I know I sure have !
