Default RE: powder charges..

T/C Hawkins 50 cal with peep site shoots best with 75 to 85 grains of PB or T7 useing a prb or a mmp sabot and Hornaday HP XTP. The above is good to 100 yards if need be.

T/C Plains Rifle 50 cal 4x weaver k4 scope shoots best with 80 & 85grains of BP or T7 prb & again the MMP sabots and HP XTP's. Again good for 100 yards and maybe a bit more Limiting factor is me.

Remington 700 50 cal #11 caps,scoped with Bushnell 2.5 to 7 shoots its best with 80 gr. T7 MMP sabot and about any thing up put in it. Not afraid to take a shot up to 200 yards with this combo.

Remington 700 54 cal 209 converted,scoped with Bushnell 3 to 9 shoots about any thing you stuff down the barrel with a mear 100 gr. T7. Favorite load is 100 gr. T7 MMP purple 54 cal sabot 300 gr. 50 cal Speer Gold Dot. Not afraid to take a 250yard shot with this combo at any game legal in Michigan.

All above powder charges are loose. I have never tried a pellet after watching my brother shoot the old clear shoot pellets out of his black diamond and watching them smoke as they rolled down range, plus I am a squeeky thight sob.
