Smacking clay pigeons at 100 yards and the powerbelts load so much smoother and faster :twocents:

My buddy shoots the white hot pellets in his CVA Wolf behind a Barnes 290 grain.
Both setups are plenty accurate out to 100 yards. I practice out to farther ranges with my modified sights setup with the 250s.

I’d be careful, 120gr of loose is about the equivalent of 150gr pellets. 120gr loose being a “magnum” load. I wouldn’t even think of using 150gr of loose powder.

Been shooting this combo since the start of muzzy deer last year.have shot maybe 4 down the pipe,are you saying i should reduce before something bad happens?if yes what will the 30 grains do to my poi? since the season is running. thanks

I would absolutely reduce it by at least 30gr. I really dont think your POI will be a whole lot different but you should definitely go shoot it a couple times just to be sure.

Just got back from the range,very windy.I set the target at 25 yards fired 2 shots both centered and 3 inches high.Moved out to 50 and shot 5 shots,average about 7 inches high. how high should i be hitting at 25 yards to be on at 100.I didn't shoot tonight because of the wind. almost 30 mph here.

Again only my opinion and first season is over. If in a modern muzzle loader in good condition I would continue shooting it if that is what your gun likes and shoots well. Do what you want if you reduce...but your not being unsafe especially if your gun is rated for it. You cannot find nor get any gun/powder manufacturer to scientifically or with actual provide pressure numbers to justify their basis for a maximum load. I have tried and they just flat will not provide the information. I believe it exists but for some reason it is not public information.

He was shooting 150gr of loose powder. It’s rated for 150gr of pellets. That’s not safe, or at least not recommended.
