Hi, you seem to have awealth of knowledge about different projectiles. I am looking to find the minimum and maximum velocities for maximum effectiveness of different muzzleloader bullets. I know powerbelts and other lead projectiles would be on the low end while all copper bullets like Barnes would be on the high end of the scale. While I know that bullet placement is the most important thing it would also be nice to know I am using the right bullet for the right powder charge.
For example, I am going to hunt a special muzzleloader season that I am planning on using my 22 inch Knight Wolverine for. It shoots Barnes Expanders really accurately with 85 grainsof Triple 7 but I am wondering if I would have enough zip for these bullets. Maybe I would be better off with the Hornady XTP's which also shoot pretty good.
Any info or sources of this kind of information would be appreciated.
Thanks, Art
