Question:

Experienced muzzle loader users?

I accidentally did a very stupid thing at the range the other day actually fired two loads stacked on top of one another. (120 grains of powder, 240 grain sabot then another 120 grains of powder and another 240 grain sabot on top) I checked the gun (a Knight disc elite) out really well afterward and there was no apparent damage. I know Im lucky nothing bad happened. I dont think the second load of powder would have ignited but don't really know. It kicked like a mule. What do I need to do to make sure the gun is still in safe operating condition?

Answer:

Shoot a a 90 grain powder charge and the 240 grain bullet. Examine your gun thoroughly . If you see nothing wrong it will most likely be OK.But shouldn't you have a mark on your ramrod that would signify the correct load has been put in the barrel? I not, I seriously suggest you mark the ramrod so the mistake can't happen again.
shoot it loaders are tough ok thanks
take the gun apart and if u know guns you ll know if anything went wrong or take it to a experienced gunsmith who could help u for the right price lol om glad u weren't hurt good luck
I would take the gun to an experienced gun smith and tell him what you did. They will be able to use a bore scope on the gun and see if you cracked the barrel on the inside and be able to check out the gun thoroughly to see if you did damage anywhere else as well.
