Well, at least it won't rust! Just got it last year and hunted Capitol Peak Forest a couple days with it. Hope to do better this year taking a little vacation this time. :)

Lyman makes a good product. It's really coming around. Here is a recent 50 yd group. Lyman Great Plains bullets 390 gr, Remington #11 caps, Triple Seven FFg @ 65 gr, after sitting a year, I think it's finally broken in. Got about 80 rounds through it. I buttered it up with Bore Butter last year after deer season. All my BP rifles shot better the second year than when new. Thanks for the comments!

I've only seen one before about 3 yrs ago outa Ridgefeild. Prolly get my kid that for his first . And yes they shoot. Hunted for years witha father and son team and both had the blued/walnut version and man did they shoot good..
