You can shoot 150. Don't know why you would want to... but you can. Of the 3 Genesis' that I have shot personally they all grouped best between 80 and 110g.

We"™ve stretched the limits of muzzleloader performance. With a full 28" of powder-burning steel, the Genesis™ generates maximum velocity from magnum 150-grain charges
Only BPI/CVA limits powder charges to 100 grain loose, anyway that si the only company I know of...
Check page15 in the owners manual for suggested and recommended loads

Exactly - mine and another forum member's both shoot 100 gr of Pyrodex P under a 300 gr Hornady XTP with CR sabot.

I'm not as good as I'm gonna get - but I'm better than I used to be. "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
I am going to push my Genesis and see what happens with something like a Nosler and 150 grains of pellets this spring. It should be interesting.

I'm also planning to try increased loads, 110, 120 and 130 gr Pyrodex RS under the FPBs. If accuracy is maintained with 130 gr, I'll have a 150 yd load: 2" high at 50, 2.5" high at 75, zero at 125 and 3.5" low at 150.
That sounds like a heck of a anything load there uncle norby...
