I have been shooting muzzies for 7 seasons now. I too was obsessed with power, figuring more power was more knock down power. However in reality it is accuracy and bullet performance that >>really<< count. I have never shot over 100 yards with my muzzie, and I now have graduated to Triple 7 loose. I have shot pyrodex pellets, tripe 7 pellets and Am Pioneer, but T7 works well, loose is what I use now.

Accuracy is number 1 in my mind, since you must group well at 100 yards to have confidence in where your placing the shot. Once the shot is on the way, bullet performance is what counts, not how much power it has. Bullets must hold togeter when hitting bone, drive deep, expand to 2x the origonal size and kill the deer by massive shock,also shooting thru for a good blood trail is good also. You can push a bullet too fast causing it to not be accurate. I like 300g bullets they tend to go thru deer, leaving a good blood trail. The lighter bullets don't do that.

Oh, the 150gpowder with a big bullet will kick like heck,'cause it takes a lot to get it going.
