Well I got my muzzle loader 12 Ga barrel today for my Encore. This is going to be my Gobbler Thumper this Spring. The only problem right now is I can't find any #5 shot anywhere. I went to 3 gun shops Saturday and not one had any shot. So if any body knows where I can get some, please let me know. I have some on backorder at a couple of places but it might be 3 weeks.

Thanks Regnar, I just got an email today saying my shot has been shipped. They must of got some sooner than they exspected. I'm excited to see what this muzzle loader will do. They really hit the turkeys hard on the hunting videos.

Way to go Charlie I was thinking pretty hard last year about trying the MDM Tominator. Just never got around to looking into more. You have to keep us informed on how you like it and what kind of pattern those smokepoles put out.

Hey Tom, I'm getting my shot from Kightrifles.com. The shot cups I'm getting at Welch's gun shop in Lebanon, NH. I'm using tripple seven loose powder. I started with 90 gr and 2 oz of #5.
I weighed up some shot on my powder scale:
120 gr. on powder measurer = 1 3/4 oz of #6
135 gr " " " = 2 oz of #6
140 gr " " " = 2 oz of #5
If you have a scale you can double check my weights.
