I have a Vortek. 110 grains of 777 and a 250 grain T/C Shockwave work well for me. Traditions recommends 100 grains of 777, with a 250 smack down.

James I just bought a traditions ultra light 50 I can't wait to shoot .....i used my friends this season I missed a 40 yard shot and another nice buck the cap went off but that's it my fault I didn't practice and found out the delay really messed me up I think

Pilebuck, I have had quite a few smoke poles. Remington's - Knights etc. The Vortek is very accurate if it goes boom. There were some trigger issues a while back. I had to put a whole new assembly in mine. I haven't had any issues since.

370gr Maxiball did great in both an LDR and a Strikerfire I tested them in. 80gr American Pioneer 2fg is what I used.

James what was the trigger doing ?

MountainDevil54 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 08, 2015, 01:44:26 PM »

I think some of the early models had a weak spring in them.

Ok mountain D I was hoping it wasn't recent I really like the ultra light it feels so good and the sights are sweet also.The 777 powder and the rws musket caps is what I am going to use the bullets well still haven't purchased any yet

Found it against the skin on the exit side, first time hunting with a muzzy and first time ever recovering a bullet of any kind in my kills.

Yes, it was a spring issue. They came out with new nipples as well.
