The Kodiak is one I would like to own one day. My 58 single likes my custom Minnie bullets. At 705 gr they are heavy and drop fast. But I hardly ever shoot over 50 yards. I seem to be lucky to get close shots. Take the Lyman old style minnie and cut down the hollow base device in a lathe and remount. They stop living animals and make a big smile on your face. I use 80 gr 2f. Good luck in your quest to make the Kodiak your go to BP rifle! Try scoping if you wish. Packy
