Traditions Buckstalker owners out there

[stevinator]

Got a Buckstalker today from Dick's on close out. Had a closed breech traditions one time and sold it ,didn't like the cleaning mess and loose powder and percussion caps.I'm not that traditional LOL.This came in the plastic pack kit,most stuff to get started but no powder pellets.I may have to find a scope base for it eventually too.What do you guys like for pellets and bullets in yours?

I just posted some stuff about mine with pics here: http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/modern-inline-muzzle-loading-rifles-shotguns/why-not-buy-a-cheap-in-line/


I don't like pellets and only burn Graf-n-Sons FFFg (branded Schutzen powder).  Clean-up is a dream on these style inlines.  Make sure you use good breach plug grease and if you are testing for groups, clean after every shot.  When testing for field trials, I clean after 3 shots.  I have shot 777, Jim Shockey's Gold, Pyrodex Pistol, Pyrodex Rifle and Goex FFFg in mine with a variety of bullets.  I use Federal Fusion 209 Primers made for muzzle loaders.  Be sure you don't buy regular shotgun primers as they unseat your load prior to the BP ignition.  This makes for poor performance.  I loved the Great Plains bullets, but they kick like crazy and almost gave me a hernia getting it loaded.
