Good point there Vash, I was shooting our regular target matches with 308 ammo and was introduced to black powder muzzle loading about 25 years ago and with that my mentor (national BPCR shooter) said that the barrel is the most important part followed by the trigger you use and in my case it is the set dual trigger favored by the BP crowd. My first BP cartridge rifle had a very old Badger barrel that a local San Diego gunsmith rifled in the way Pope did it. Even then it took me 6 months to get the correct load so I could win matches.

The local Schuetzen shooters all tell me what they use and which 22LR ammo is most consistent and such so it seems like which came first the chicken or the egg?
