Welcome to the forum.. and welcome to the sport. Glad you finally spoke up.

I looked at those Yukons close. They are not a bad looking rifle. Traditions makes a good rifle. Being the 1-28 twist, I will guess that with 80-85 grains of loose Pyrodex RS and a 240 grain XTP you should get good accuracy. Also they might shoot powerbelts real good. If you go that route, get the standard powerbelt for deer and get them in 245 & 295 grain. Start them out at 80 grains and work up from there.

Be sure and let us know how the rifle shoots, how easy it is to clean, and how much fun you're having. And be sure to read the manual cover to cover.. good luck with the rifle.
