Hello i am from Fresno, CA.
I just got into the muzzleloading scene.
A couple of day's ago a friend and i decided to go out to the range and site in a couple of my gun's and his new T/C 5024 hawkin.
That was the first time i have got to shoot and mess around with a muzzleloader.
I realy liked the challange and the effort it takes to shoot it.
It took me about 10 round's to site it in at 25 yard's and at that point i wanted one of my own.
The next day i went to the town's BIG gun shop and was looking around and found a tradition's in-line that i liked.
Now i have one!
A little on me.
I am 24 and have been shooting my whole life.
My fauther was big into gun's and i think i got it from him.
I also reload but have only been doing it for about 1 month now and i am still learning.
Now for the list

Welcome to the forum. It is good to have you here. What model Traditions inline did you get? Most of them have a 1-28 twist, and will shoot sabot, and powerbelts real well. What kind of powder are you shooting.

 

[IPSteeler]

It is a 1-28.
I will shooting pyrodex and the powerbelt's.
I am going to go up to the range tomorow and brake it and site in.

Well the 1-28 should shoot powerbelts fine. Try them at 80 grains of loose powder and see what happens. I shoot a CVA Staghorn Magnum who's barrel comes out of the same factory as the traditions. It likes 90 grains of Pyrodex RS.

Well i went shooting yesterday at the local range.
I sited in the sites before i got my scope on there.
It did quite well before any adjustment's at 50 yard's.
after 2 adjustment shot's it was sited in and was shooting with in a 10" radious at 100 grain's.
I cant wait tell i get my scope mount and i think it will do a 5" radious at 100 yard's with powerbelt's at 100 grain's.
Also were should i get a breech tool because i had to rig up another tool out of my gunsmithing tool set and it isnt going to last that long!
