I was hoping to get some advice for a new elk load for my TC. I used to muzzle loader hunt years ago (before they allowed copper bullets). I used to shoot 310 gr lead bullets and 150 gr of pyrodex pellets with number 11 caps. I was just checking to see if anybody had any "real world" experience with new bullets and powders.
Thank you for your time and advice guys.

One of my hunting partners has a Black Diamond, we load it with a 370g TC maxi ball with 80gr FFF black powder. elk killing load for his gun. Good Luck!

sorry not a copper bullet.

I'm considering trying loose powder, I've heard it gets a better burn and more consistent. I've only really used pyrodex pellets and like the convenience of them. Thanks for the info!

I use 250 grain tc shockwaves with the superglide sabots pushed by 110 grains of Pyrodex select. Have killed a few elk and it is very effective. German musket caps also. I shoot the tc black diamond xr......great gun....I own 4.
Great thank you. I've had a few people now recommend loose powder instead of pellets. Looks like I'll be doing some experimenting.
