RE: .45 Muzzleloader Bullets
greener,
I use the PR 250gr spitzer over 110gr of FFF APP in my Knight .45. Never recall having a pass thru out to about 110 yrds. Some will disagree but I don't believe in the "pass thru" is better theory. Its great for blood trail,but a waste of energy where it counts. In a perfect world a projectile will enter,expend its energy and leave a dimple in the hide on opposite side while deer drops in its tracks. This is assuming you hit the vitals.I have never had a deer move further than 15-20yds with the 250gr PR's. Great bullet with consistant above average accuracy. I have used the 195gr power belt as back up bullet or a 2nd deer shot. The PR's can be a real bear to load on 2nd round and need a sledge on 3rd round unless you do a spit swab in field.The PB's are a real quick follow up round.
IMO if you have a bullet thats doin its job and accurate - stick with it.
BTW - I just watched a show on OLN where a guy took a very large deer 11pnt in Canada with your gun using 195gr PB's and Pyro pellets. The deer dropped in its tracks.Alot of folks under estimate the ability of the .45.
