I've got hundreds of rounds through an MLII. Always shot Accurate 5744 powder. Mostly Barnes 250 and 300 grain MZ bullets. It'll shoot .75 groups at 100 yards. Awesome gun.
I got lucky a few years ago and picked up a used, synthetic ml-ii for $200. I don't think it had even been fired at the time. It's by far the easiest muzzleloader that I've ever worked with. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who had one that didn't like it.
Love to get some input, i have never gotten mine to shoot like i would like with 5744, bullets 250-300gr from Hornady EZ load (shoots best 2 in group) Nosler 300, Hornady 300, with a bunch of different sabots, the recommended ones form savage, harvester, Hornady ones, and i can't get things to tighten up. Any Ideas?

I sell 10 packs if you want to experiment.
Also, make sure you're not shooting in warm weather. Smokeless builds a lot of pressure and if you warm your barrel at ALL you will have fliers.
