Looks pretty good Casper. Hope the leads led doesn't break the stock.
How does it shoot from the shoulder when standing?
I noticed no weight on the sled. That should help the stock, some.

What load do you use for moose if you don't mind me asking? I need to start playing with my .450 bpe I hace one load I shoot now and it was given to me with the rifle, 35 gr sr4859 ,or something like that, I would have to look to be certain on number but it's the one popular for reduced loads, and a 300 gr gas check hard cast bullet flat nose, sized to 457 Works on game ,the largest has been elk They are very sweet rifles and funtional art in the best sense aren't they? Any way I wouldn't mind ttrying different loads just to compare, or is it a load I can find myself in Grahms book? Either way moose would be fun and from the way the ones here are quite doable, I think getting a close shot on them is easier than elk just far fewer of them here and tags are something I quit trying for Good Luck to you on the up coming hunt

I use 4198 in all my black powder loads. I'm using a 360 grain bullet. Daryl I forgot about putting the butt in the sled this time. I have always used just the front and but in my shoulder before. I've heard about the broken stocks as well.

I think you're on a winner Casper!
It's certainly got a bit of THUMP behind, so it'll speak with more than enough authority on moose!
Hope you sort out seeing the front sight mate, nothing worse when its just a blur.
All the best for the hunt
