I wish to heck pellets were still something to feed the chickens and this 150 grain magnumitis had never got started! Trying to make a muzzleloader perform like a .270 was never what it was about and never should be.

Sorry, just had to rant because reading posts like this one are just plain scary. People are getting seriously hurt because of all the nonsense and hooplah. Learn your weapon, leave yourself a safety margin, develop an accurate and comfortable load, and HUNT to get inside yourrange.
