Should I try a heavier bullet?
I am going to PA to bowhunt during the muzzleloader season and may take my Knight Wolverine since I have two doe tags. I have done a little reading on here and it seems that a lot of you are shooting heavier bullets than I am used to. I am currently shooting 100 grain pyrodex pellets with a 240 grain hornady sabot. I haven' t shot yet this year but am wondering if I should try a heavier bullet?

I agree, if it shoots that load fine, then I would not mess with it. I am sure that the round you are shooting fine will take a deer down. You might want to shoot a few groups to see if the gun is still dead on, and try some other loads. But I would stick with what the gun likes. Good Luck this year.

I shoot the 300 grain Hornady XTP but that is just because its the first thing I tried in it and it shot 1 1/2- 3 inch groups at 100 yards everytime.
