Default RE: Whats your deer load ??

MD Piney, I practice at 200 yards alot. But still alot of drop. According to knight 150gr of 777 is perfectly safe with thier breech plug from the .52 cal. I bought that breech plug and it works great. I only get little over 2000fps with this load. Thought I would get more.

Accuracy was really better with 120gr of 777 but very acceptable with 130gr.

I hunt blackwater swamp and really wanted the range. I still won't take shots over 120yard or so. But one day if its just perfect, who knows. Last year, I shot one doe with 3 50gr 777 pellets which is the same as 3 50gr pyrodex pellets. Accuracy was good, but not as good as loose.

If I got better accuracy with a lower load like 95 I would use it but I didn't.
