Well, I got to work up some hunting loads for the yeck. Ends up the gun is very accurate, at 50 yards with the lyman 500grn os minie this gun really shines with all holes touching with a load from 60grs all the way up to 85grns. I tried 3f and 2f and it had no affect on accuracy. This is also the only musket I've ever owned that would not group with the lee REAL bullet groups were in the 4" range and 5" to the left (figure that one out)I tried light loads heavy loads 2f and 3f all with the same results. I'm shocked because I've had horrible results with the lyman minie in every musket I ever tried it in, go figure. The only catch is that the rifle shoots 6" high at 50 yards but I can file the rear sight down. My mom is going to use it deer hunting next week so hopefully she will get something, if she does I'll post it.
