Hi Guys,
I have just acquired my first BP gun, a Zoli 12g muzzle loader and am having trouble finding any info on it. Have tried their web site, no joy. Just wondered if any of you have or had one ?

It is a single barrel percussion gun made around 1975, with a 33" barrel. I have looked at some pictures of them on Google, all have a long fore end with a ramrod held in it, mine however has a short fore end with no ramrod ? maybe a former owner cut it down for some reason ?

I will use Pyrodex to start with whilst I apply for a explosives licence then BP.

Any info on loads ( will be shooting No 5 shot and ball ) and the gun itself would be very helpful.

I have bought a Lyman black powder handbook and loading manual, and already reload .308 / .223 and 12g slugs.
All the best,
Mick.
