Dustingaunder is the man! Thanks for the hookup brother. That rifle looks awesome... now I just gotta figure out how to shoot it without blowing myself up
No problemo man, I hope you can get some enjoyment out of it!

Oh man am I ever ready to go hunting again! I missed the last half of deer season due a last minute deployment. So I'm seriously jonesing. I still have a few steaks left but all my burger is gone. And the steaks will be gone soon...
I'll be out deer hunting opening day of archery. If you haven't hunted black powder you got to try it. It's like getting another rifle season. As hi-tech as the new black powder rifles are it's just as easy to shoot as any other rifle. And in some cases more accurate.
I would recommend getting the cleaning patches that are already soaked in solvent and one in oil. Those are the easiest to use. Also get the preformed powder like 777 or pyrodex.

Oh man, my wife is gonna hate you...After you posted this I did some research on the Savage Smokeless and couldn't for the life of me figure out why I didn't own one. LOL. What a great concept. It does make it so much easier. I have to admit I've finally got used to the fact that I have to clean the barrel after each shot for the best accuracy. I wish I could just reload round after round and not have to worry about cleaning the barrel till the end of hunting season.Don't need em if shooting the Savage Smokeless.
I'm just glad Oklahoma isn't one of those states that treats muzzleloaders like an antique. Some states don't allow scopes or interchangable barrels muzzleloaders during muzzleloader season.
Yeah guys!! I can smell the bore butter already. Time to get out the Hawken and make some smoke!! Next thing you know it will be deer season.

YEA! We have a winner. Do you use the loads in the manual? I ended up doing some research online and working up a load using H4198 that will be close to 2700 fps if I remember right.
