Surprisingly enough it fits me so well with 70 gr of Goex ffg and a 560 minie, it is very comfortable to shoot. I haven't tried fffg or a larger charge though, no need as I don't hunt any longer.

Freedom.......That's a huge elk and a powerful load. I assembled a 54 Colonial for myself and it's a solid rifle for sure. I'm glade it can handle those large loads.

I have four muzzleloaders; I know
, looks of derision, they are all percussion - two Parker Hale .58s (1853 and 1858) and two Pedersoli .54s (Tryon and Rocky Mountain Hawken). Why percussion and not flintlock, well, I restarted a little later in life with ye olde black magic and my safe is full - my state firearms registry may have a fit if I apply to acquire anymore beauties! I have hunted regularly with three of them - I am yet to blood the 1853, though she has done a lot of target work with fine results. I'll get around to taking her out later on in the year. And no, not fancy, but not beaters, like others here I look after my kit.And the best place for squirrels? Heck, if I ever see a squirrel in the wild over here in Australia, I'll suspect I'm very drunk!

Whoa, when they hauled all those invasive species to Australia they overlooked squirrels?🐿Heck, if I ever see a squirrel in the wild over here in Australia, I'll suspect I'm very drunk!
We need to gather up some that are only mildly wounded and send them your way.
