wtnhunt Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Welcome to the forums. Might take a look at the bluelk muzzleloading chapters pinned here at the top of the page. Or you can go directly there from here http://www.realtree.com/bluelk/. Best suggestion I can give really is to work up different loads and bullet/sabot combos and see what works best for you with your setup. Using 240 grain TC xtp mags here, my TC black diamond likes them, and they work quite well on these deer. Shooting loose pyrodex, my best performance seems to come with a charge of 120 grains of powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
