I used to shoot 240gr XTPs w/ 100gr of T7. I was getting great accuracy, but at the close ranges I usually shoot deer, the bullets were coming apart. I finally recalled that this wasn't an issue when I used to shoot 80gr of Pyrodex with the same bullet out of my old ThunderHawk and never had an issue. I have gone back to 80gr of T7 in my Wolf and the accuracy is great. I shot a doe at 20yds yesterday behind the shoulder and with a pass through, busting the other shoulder. I do plan on switching to the 250gr Gols Dots next year, but I feel confident that this set up will do just fine in most cases. Has anyone found a load that deminishes crud ring with T7 in this gun? I believe I'm getting less with the lower charge.
