thanks for the replies, I am going to do some testing this spring. I'll try out the XTP hollow points and maybe a couple more
If your going to be doing a lot of shooting, then do it this winter so the barrel will cool faster. Also try different sabots, since some are thicker than others. If price is big deal to you ($1/bullet for premium bullets is about the norm) then stay with an XTP or a Speer Gold Dot bullet. Also do some searches on the Internet for "Muzzleloader Bullet Performance or Muzzleloader Bullet Penetration". Most of us also like loose powder, because you can do an 80g or 90gcharge, and it is a LOT cheaper.
