Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.
The 3.5 inch would be perfect. I'd pay for reliability. If the gun is tuned or just happens to be extremely reliable as-is that makes it all the more valuable to me. Accuracy just has to be enough to keep the shots on a pie-plate at 10-yards. Stout load capability would be welcome. Perfect function with #11 caps would be convenient as a have #11 and #1175's and find #10 hard to come by but that's not a deal breaker.
