Hello from the Hill Country west of Lampasas Texas:ghostly:

Unless you are hunting game larger than a cottontail my Cherokee shoots great with 15 grains of FFFg a .310 ball and thin pillow ticking. If I am hunting turkey, or predators I double the load. I have also shot several feral hogs with the 30 grain load.
