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.
That is correct, 100g is plenty. If you switch to loose instead of APP sticks, that can help your accuracy also by "working up a load" for a given bullet. Most guns have a sweet point where they give the best accuracy for a given weight of bullet, that may be 90g for your gun with your bullet. I would not experiment this year because 2 days is too close, but after the season. Get some loose APP 3F and start experimenting what shoots best in your rfile. Read the manual, they usually tell you accurate loads and projectiles for your gun. I used the "book loads" in my new Savage 10ML to sight it in, once I was comfortable with shooting he gun, and getting good accuracy with book loads I started switching bullets and sabots. You gotta tune these rifles for best accuracy.
