Hey Joey,
I think you might get a lot of opinions on this. Here is my suggestion though.

I assume you are looking for a load for dear, correct????

I am kind of in your same boat. I have 4 kids that keep me very busy. My wife works and is in school. On and on, so I don't have a lot of time for experimenting. I took the information I got here and on another forum and quickly got a powder bullet combination and now I just need to do the fine tuning before hunting season.

All that said to say this. If the 2 pellets work, I would look no further. Later in your life, things may settle down and you will have more time and shoot more for pleasure. Then you can try all things out on your own.

If you are looking to do some experimenting, I would suggest playing around with some loose Triple 7. You can bump the load up a little at a time and see what happens.
