Pro Hunter Muzzleloader

[Ravenrunner]

Can anyone tell me about their Pro Hunter. I have had a rough time lining it up. When i shoot it 2 or 3 times and the ramrod will not go all the way down to the bullet. I've owned several Knight's and never had this problem. I have to clean it pretty frequently to ensure that it will shot ok. I'm been using the Powerbelt Bullets and the Pyrodex pellets. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

had a contender and it done the same thing,,,,,,sold it and bought a traditions,,,,,,the plastic mauls up in the rifling on the tc's for some reason, i shot my traditions 9 times before cleaning it and the ram rod full through with no problem

First, let me say i absolutely love the TC Encore and Contenders.
There seems to be a lot of people with really tight barrels with the Encore muzzle loaders. I personally had a friend with the same issue with his. I would lap the barrel and buy the new bullets that do not require plastic sabots. They are fairly new and I seen them at Wally World. They are the pointed power shock style bullets but do not require the plastic piece. This may help you out.
Good luck.

I have a pro hunter with a sightron big sky 2 3x9x50 and it is a tack driver. If i were you, I would ditch the powerbelts and shoot either a shockwave 250 or Hornady SST Low Drag 250. I shoot 2 triple seven pellets and consistantly shoot 1in or under groups at 100 yards and 2.5 in at 200. Also i am sure you know this already but consistancy in cleaning your barrel after every shot makes a world of difference. I always wet patch and then dry patch after each shot. Hope this helps.
