--- Quote from: jrebel on May 12, 2014, 01:07:25 PM ---I love my XR and have had wonderful luck with 110 grains Pyrodex select loose powder pushing a 250 (deer) or 300 (elk) grain Thompson Center Shockwave sabot. I also use a williams peep and can shoot comfortably to 150 yards when hunting. Off a bench I can hit a milk jug at 180 all day long. My doe this year was 150 ish yards and it dumped her where she stood. My cow elk a few years ago was approx 20 yards. My buck was exactly 103 yards (off a knee). Enjoy and please ask questions if you have them. If anyone is in the area and wants to try my load before you commit I will gladly meet you at the range and let you throw some lead down range. --- End quote --- Thanks Johnny, I appreciate the feedback. |

I shoot either 110 grains of pyrodex pellets or 130. 385 grain home-made lead bullets. Works on elk and deer both. |

Oh yeah...I only use the musket caps with the german musket caps. |
| swift:
Good info thanks |
| Capt. Rob:
I shoot 120 gr. of 777 ffg below a 250 grain shokwave or even better yet, a barnes tmz. I have harvested animals from 150 to 200+ I can't complain and won't change. |
