Just fired my Genesis for the first time. I like the fit and feel of the gun. No misfires, smooth action and good balance.
After 30 shots, still not comfortable I have it zeroed in. I am new to inline, but been hunting flint lock and rifle for over 25 years.
What other loads are people using? I am shooting 250gr TC Hollow Points with 110GR Winchester 7. Kicks pretty hard, and I am not that small. Conerned what 150 is like.... Maybe it's just because I'm shooting from the bench!!! Would rather shoot my .348 Winchester (yes a .348)
I have a group at 100 yards about 3 inches, but get a flyer with each group. Shooting with a scope.
What have others found as a good load for this gun as I am not happy with what I have. Since I am new to inline, is this acceptable? I have heard that flyers are not that uncommon with fouling in all brands.
Every so often, I would run a cloth down the barrel to make sure it is clean. It seems to me the rod is too short. One time I passed it too far down and needed plyers to get it out. A cheap way to save a buck, or normal for inline?
Also, after I brought it home, had a hell of a time getting the breach out. Unsure if I had blow bye or what. This normal for any inline? Was easy to clean, just a pain to get the breach out, I can see why the manual says to use a never seeze compound. Very smooth once out, cleaned and put back...
I'll be emailing Remington with my complaints on the rod length and also the breach sticking. THX
