This is my first in-line, Traditions Pursuit pro, I bought it used for a steal, any recommendation on black powder or ammo? how many grain's of each. I typically use my 12G, but I borrowed an in-line last year and loved it, so I bought one, just geting started so lookin for some advise.
The first load I tried with my Pursuit was almost perfect. I have tried other loads, just a few, and could not find any improvement. The load is a 240 grain XTP in a Thompson Center Mag Express sabot over 2 Fifty grain Pyrodex pellets. Everyone says use loose powder and I don't really like using the pellets but I can't find any reason to mess with a load the rifle seems to like.
Like bsteve, I use the Winchester Triple Se7en 209 primers also.
I do believe the Pursuit is capable of shooting many different bullet/sabots and conical's quite well. I remember shooting 245 grain Powerbelts and getting great groups. But with the poor terminal performance ratings of the Powerbelt I decided to use the Hornady XTP and have not looked back. The XTP is just a deadly, inexpensive and accurate bullet.
