qleason.chapman I dont beleive I chose killing power over long distance since I am very comfortable at shooting up to 150 yards with my Whites. To me this is long distance shooting with a muzzleloader, plus like you said this is a good killing combo so I beleive I have the best of both worlds here. My 460grn bullets come out to 22 cents apeice the ssts come out to 57 cents apeice. Thats a tough decision. I do like the ssts but they are twice what I pay for the pure lead bullets. The sst on the elk did not go all the way through.
