Default RE: 45 cal powder/bullet combo?

well durr! 195 grain powerbelt and 150 grains of powder is a big time boo boo. Why would you even consider using such a small bullet? With a 195 grain powerbelt 60-70 grains powder Max. These new "Magnum" muzzleloaders really bite ya on the arse and they put into the minds of newbie's that 150 grains of powder is needed. All ive ever noticed is uncomfortable recoil and groups that opened up.

What kind of groups were you getting with the 195 grainer and 3 pellets? Im surprised they didnt come apart when they left the barrel
