Well, the day started off early, and after relying on GPS too much to find Dixon's Muzzleloading shop in Kempton, PA I was finally there.
They are GREAT. Answered all my questions and got me everything I need to go shooting.
After that my buddy and I went back home and attempted to fire at a Milk jug maybe 35-40yds away. I missed the first two times, as I need to get used to that powder flash and delay, but the next shots I hit it.
Boy this gun is FUN. The only time I'm a little nervous is when I'm pouring the powder down the barrel. I give it a few minutes to cool off and anything to burn itself out before hand.
Once I practice more and get used to that delay, I'll be ready to take down some deer this year.
The gentleman at Dixon's recommended 2F powder for it, however will 3F give me a quicker burn with less delay between pan to powder?
Edit: As per Dixon's recommendation, I started off with 70gr of 2F and then tried 80. Not sure what I'm going to hunt with, maybe 90.
