Maybe I should have been more specific. I have probably taken 5 deer with a muzzleloader all 100 yds or less, and maybe 25 with a rifle, so i am experienced in regards to shooting a scoped firearm. I am a good shot. However, I am not experienced when it comes to powder grainage and loads and that part ofmuzzleloading. I am not just going to load up mykodiak and go to the woods. I leave Thursday and havefrom now until then to find something that worksout to 150+ yds. Thank you all for your help and I'll let you knowwhat I find is working in my gun...from what ya'll have said, 100 grains should be plenty for what i need.
