Well, that's a big let down. All that for nothing.

I haven't given up yet!
  I'm going to give it a try I'm just gonna be very careful and make sure nobody else is at the range when I'm doing it to get me distracted.

I slugged the barrel and used guage plugs.(.376-.369)  I just bought  a .370 diameter bullet thats .001 over groove diameter so the muzzleloading will begin!
  The mold should be here by the end of the week and hopefully this weekend I will give it a trial run.

I had a 36" piece of brass stock and robbed the spare aluminum plunger body and turned  it into the ram rod body.
I'm getting closer!

I would write on the target, big enough to be read through the scope - "Did you seat the bullet?"

What I have to do even when I'm out of the range breach seating is when people come up and talk to me just stop until they leave.
