Default RE: now I got them coming what should I get??

Great advice from Cayugad (as usual) . . . if you are in a time crunch to get the setup going for this hunting season - first break in the gun with a box of conicals. Don't bother swabbing the barrel between shots. Then try the 250 gr. T/C Shockwave with two fifty grain Pyrodex pellets. There is a high probability that this load will shoot well in your gun. And if it does, you really don't need to experiment much more for a general hunting load for distances out to about 175 yards. Later, you can really have some fun playing with all sorts of combinations.

You might go back through the archives of this site. There is a wealth of information about loading procedures, cleaning between shots, cleaning at the end of the day, etc. - that you will want to know before you fire your first shot. Good luck. Roskoe
