new to smokless from Tazewell Va.

i'm new to muzzleloading . i have a 20 year old cva optima that was loaned to me and i liked it and ordered a new cva accura mrx in 45 that was a catastrophe inside the barrel . sent it back and ordered a .45 woodman patriot with a brux barrel in December . i've been on another place learning and figured i'd come here since i'm gonna order hanks sizing die after xmas to try full bore . but initially i'm gonna shoot sabots with fury and xtp bullets . i guess i'll be diving off the deep end starting out but i wanted to be dang sure i get something decent this time .
take care , jeff
