it shot as well as it did last year. As I get older, I am glad it has a peep sight on it. I use 4f in the pan also. at 50 yards 3 inch group, which compared to 25 yeaes ago is sad. But I limit it to 50 yards or so, and I am confident in that range. I use oxyoke .10 thickness patches with bore butter for lube and rws caps. I mold my own balls in .495. It is a sweet gun and shoots very well. I have 4 more weeks, then off to camp for a week to exercise it.
