I don't muzzleload like the orig. poster, but what you're doing seems far more than I recall of the possibilities of muzzleloading.

I forgot to mention that I was talking about my 30-06's...sorry. I guess i didn't realize they were talking about ML. I guess I need to read the previous posts better. My ML'ers and slug gun are certainly different. With my in line ML I tried 150 gr of pyrodex pellets and experamented with different loads to try and get as flat a trajectory as possible. I had my best patterning with Barnes expanders but they load extremely hard even on the first run. Most other loads I had flyers with the 3 pellets and finally went back to 2 with TC 240 gr TSX. It shoots accurately but the drop is about 4" at 100
