What is the opinion on here of anyone who has one? Musketoon or full length rifle? Mostly to be shot at 25m so a full length a bit overkill perhaps.
The musketoon has its quirks. A friend of mine has one and it is all over the place with a deep cavity bullet like the Lee. A bullet from a PH mould with a deep cavity does not make any difference. A cast bullet using a shallow base plug, Lee & PH, brought the shots onto the card at 100 yards but was still erratic. He tried medium powder and it improved the accuracy, but it was not perfect, the groups were still at several inches. He opted for the Pedersoli shallow cavity mould and medium powder and the result was about the same. He's working on it!

Its all good fun though.
