Well had a good day on the range ,a little tweaking of my powder load and managed a 6 inch group at 100 yds with the carbine off the bench using a Lee improved 577 Minnie.
Slightly better group with the volunteer as expected, though after a few shots the impact point seems to creep to the right,maybe need to run a patch through after every two or three shots ,but I am one very happy man, absolutely loving my first foray into muzzleloading rifles !
