Thanks everyone for your suggestions i cant wait to get this gun all setup and take it out to the range to see what it will do. i do think i will go with loose powder so i can fine tune. my main reason for wanting this gun is the deer that come into the feild i hunt behind my house either come out at 100 130 or 180 yards and after they figure out it is hunting season they all stand out there at about 200 yards and look at me sitting there and this year i want to have a suprise for them as it seems the big bucks always use the 180 yard trail and never come much closer than 150-160 from my stand. i hope to educate a couple of theese bond county deer that 150 yards is not a safe distance to stand anymore...also i will start out shooting the 250 sw bullets i got with my cabelas starter kit does anyone have suggestions with a good powder and primer to start with?
