Traditions Vortek UL LDR Northwest Magnum

[sagewalker]

Just bought the new Traditions Vortek UL LDR Northwest Magnum. Looking for some advice from you guys for the best powder and bullet for this model. Any suggestions?!?!?!

Bought for my daughter 2 years ago. Shooting 70 grains 3f T7 and PR Bullet Double Duplex Dead Center 175 grain lead. Daughter and now sons have taken 4 mule deer with this load. I know of others shooting heavier loads with good accuracy and success. As this is a mass production muzzy the barrels will vary. Just have to work up many different loads until you find one to your liking.

Thanks for the advice sir!

Alliant Black MZ 80 grains volume, 370gr maxiballs did flat out awesome in mine. Actually, in my strikerfire they do awesome.

The LDR will shoot the maxiballs, powerbelts, Thor bullets all extremely well.

Thank you!

I shoot 150gr pyrodex pellets and 250gr bonred t/c shockwave and they perform phenominal on deer and elk. Accuratly shoot 200yds with my vortek

110 grains 3F 777, 250 tompson center shockwave.  I have found that load to be accurate. I would start at 80 grains and work your way up. 80 - 100 will probably be the most accurate.

150 grains pyrodex pellets and a 300 grain TC shockwave copper jacketed sabot, best combo I have found so far! Clean it after ever second shot and you will be good out to 200 yards, Not recommending shooting that far but I killed my bull a couple years ago at 175 yards and the setup worked perfect.

100 grains Tripple 7 FFG and 348 grn Powerbelt copper jacket aero tip shoots amazing out of mine. If I can do my part properly on a good bench I get consistant holes touching at 100 yards. Have not practiced any further than that, my hunting grounds dont facilitate longer shots.

[sabot92]

I shoot 100 grains of Triple 7 FFG with a 240 grain Hornady HP-XTP.
