Just started to use a muzzleloader this year and have only shot it once so far, but here is what I'm using at the moment...

Knight Revolution .50 cal
Leupold VX I 3-9 x 40
Triple 7 loose powder (100 grains)
Barnes Expander 250 grains

Big Country,

Noticed you are using 130 grains of Triple 7 with your Barnes Expander. From what I understand max load for a Knight is 150 grains.

Q - Does 130 grains of Triple 7 equate to 150 grains of normalpowderload? I've heard there was a difference in Triple 7 and was looking todetermine the balance.

Q - What is your effective range with that load?

Thanks for your guidance in advance...
