[QUOTE="Simon, post: 2577338, member: 20159"] I couldn't find a picture of the stock for that rifle. If it is the "roman nose" style all you can do is lower the amount of power that you use. I have a copy of an original with that type of stock in .50 cal. and I can't shoot more than 65 grains of 3F black and a round ball with out getting my face beat up. If you load the buffalo bullet it will have a much stronger recoil, just like a 30-06 with a 150 versus a 220 with the same powder charge. I have shot 110 grs of 2F in .50, with a round ball, in a 10 lb. rifle with a much strighter stock and it was comfortable. The only manufactored muzzleloader, that is currently available, that will handle the charge that you are usingand notbeat up your face, is th Lyman great plains. There is nothing wrong with you rifle, it just was not designed for the large powder charge and heavy bullets. Also if you shoot many bullets. you need a faster rate of twist for best accuracy. Look at the different rate of twist that Lyman uses for the bullet barrel vs the round ball barrel. [/QUOTE]
