As well as different people liking different things you will find that two seemingly identical guns wil shoot not only different loads of powder and different kinds of powder with different sabots but also different bullets. I try thing that I like first but am not comfortable with leaving it at that when I find a number of loads that will shoot better than my capabilities then I am happy. On the other hand if you don't make a hobby out of it and say hunt deer once a year with it most of the standard loads and bullets will satisfy your needs. Lee
