I'm looking for a good load for .45 195gr. Powerbelts. I heard tell that these bullets lack hitting power. Makes no sense to me, as it seems that hitting power is a factor of the powder charge, and any bullet that gets up to an acceptable velocity will hit, but then I don't know much about muzzleloading.

The rifle is a CVA Eclipse Magnum with about a 22" bbl. It uses 209 primers.Propellant will be Pyrodex powder. I'd like to be able to take a whitetail at 75-100 yards.

Any input will be appreciated.
