I would think they would shoot as well as they look.

Very nice, Maine has recently changed from 45 to 40cal for a legal muzzle'loader dear caliber so I'm considering building one.

Nice, I am hoping to get mine this week. Looking forward to getting it out also. How's the 400/408 treating you? Had it out much yet to get an opinion on it? You can't get a new gun and then not tell us about it.....  |

I got it and sighted it in with the barnes for deer season.
But I did not get a chance to do a hair test, not one shot all week.
It shot a .965 at 100 yards with 71 gr of 4895.
Stepped it up a few grains and went out to 175 yds, first two shots were touching
and the third went up about 1" to make a 1.375 group.
I hope to get it out again within the next week or so.

I've got a die ready to head your way tomorrow, and an improved short starter for you to rough around too. Haha |

Steve, have you weighed your target action build with scope on? Curious what it weighs in at. Sorry if you stated this elsewhere before. What's your 408 Rem weigh?
