    I think I would still buy one if I came across a good used one. I think it was a great idea and no real issues that I am aware of.

    Idea is amazing but I'm wondering if it could be even better. For example, would that be possible to use piezo electric ignition somehow.

    Not sure but I came across a web site where they experimented and designed an electronic Ignition for BP. Apparently its not as easy as one might think. There is a schematic for the design though. Would be a cool project.

    Though I haven't shot any game with it yet, I love it. It's just fun to see and smell the smoke. When people are around, it's fun to see their reaction when I pull the trigger. I'd never shot a muzzle loader before last year. It's neat!

    I bought late last season, so I was unfortunately only able to take it to the range to dial it in. Since I already filled my tag this year, I won't be taking it out for a while, but I plan on experimenting with different bullets. I'm still not sure what I prefer shooting with it.

    I did a quick dial-in last year with some Hodgdon Triple 7 behind a Powerbelt AeroTip 245gr with Federal 209A primers. I also have some IMR White Hots and some Hornady SST-ML 250gr that I haven't tried yet. What are you shooting out of yours?

    I have so far only shot 100gr t7 (pellets).I just bought some magnums's and some 30 gr pellets so I will be trying 80,90,100,110,120gr loads with different pellet combinations. Sometime's with these guns less is more. I have shot mostly FP bore loks and a few Hornady sst. I had amazing success with the bore loks in my wolf, however so far I havent been able to duplicate it with my accura. It kinda sucks cause they are very pricey to be blasting away with but that's part of buying a new ML. I also bought some PB aerolite's. They are the recommended load for the accura with 100gr pellets. I will try them soon. I am going to try the bore loks with a different load.If My gun ends up not liking them I will save them for my wolf and go with the aerolite's.I found I would get a cple really good shots with the bore loks then a flyer. Not sure if a different load will work better.

    I would recommend to you guys give any of the bullets that are sold thru Precision Bullets in Manitoba....they have a proven history thru the years and have killed all the deer I have shot over the past 15 yrs.

    They even have a sale on this weekend, the Dead Centre, one of their best, is sale for only $15. I use the Keith Nose myself and they sell for $11.
