My stupidity lasted for a long time, I'm close to 47. I've owned over a dozen muzzleloaders. I never had one that would shoot as good as I knew I could shoot. Today I traded a AR15 for a new SS Encore with a Nikkon scope. Two Pyrodex pellets and a 300gr shockwave bullet produced a 3 shot one hole nickle sized group from 50 yards without patching in between shots. I moved to a longer range of 125 yards and dang it, I hit within one inch of my sight picture. This thing will shoot better than I can hold it. I always wanted one. I heard many powerful claims from their owners. Finally I believe them. A black comic had a routine a about "How long will this bull**** go on?" Well mine lasted pretty darn long. I see the light and the error of my ways. Could someone please pass me my sign....
