A very good friend of mine has one for over 15 years I think it is the one you could get throuh Cabelas back in the day - it is nice , a very nice shotgun , I think it had screw in chokes too

He was shooting it with steel shot cups unslited ,  and lead - not sure but it performed quite well

I own the same gun, its rated for 109gr of ffg powder and 1 1/2oz of shot! I built mine from a kit a couple months ago, and i love it! Mine doesnt have screw in chokes, but rather a cylinder barrel, and a modified barrel. Ive shot it many times thus far, ive worked up a "General" game load that consists of 90gr Pyrodex RS, and 1 1/4oz of #6 shot, should be bad medicine on pheasants out to 35yds. I did play around with a turkey load for it, and i would go with 105gr Pyrodex RS, and 1 1/2oz of buffered #6. The cylinder barrel would be my <25yd barrel, and the modified my 25-35yd barrel It throws an even pattern with that setup, i have yet to try 10ga plastic shotcups in it, but intend to. One heads up though...most 10ga shotcups will accept more lead than what the gun is rated for Id get a scale and begin cutting down a shotcup in length until you get to where the shotcup is coming in at 1 1/2oz when topped off. They measure and remember that length, or cut a bunch right off the bat

I want to find one with screw in chokes. I hear their not the same threads as any of the other 10ga chokes on the narket but thats fine a few companys will make custom chokes
.
Also id like to get the pistol grip stock don't know if yall seen them.

How do they pattern?  Wonder about 1 1/2 oz of hevishot #7s
bpi makes that short wad

Either way, the old way of thinking was if you want more lead go up in gauge. Well, by todays standards 1 1/2oz of shot isnt alot of pellets, with a HTL load its actually less Accept the gun for what it is, and itll fulfill what its meant to do! I have a Knight TK 2000 thats rated for 2 1/2oz of shot and 120gr of powder, and believe it or not...its far from the "Best" patterning load that the gun produces.

I contacted their U.S dealer.  He said the newer pistol grip model with chokes is 995$
Seems like alot of money for a muzzleloader but boy do they look good.

Thinking about a ideal buckshot load.

3 .50 cal round balls equal about 1 1/2 oz payload i think.
That's 1,600ftlbs at 1100fps. Or some hornady 58cal rbs.

What do you think about goex powder?
