Why are you guys bringing up pellets? He's shooting T7 powder.

Although i'm not a fan of Powerbelts. I've never had a CVA that didn't shoot them accurately, and since when is a squeaky clean barrel the most consistent barrel?

I don't understand the advice from some of you guys?

My advice is to get a breech plug from Western that's designed to shoot BH 209, and use that powder. I'd use the Barnes 290gr T-EZ bullet with 90-110gr of powder. Find out what powder load it likes in that range. Do not swab between shots.

One load for anything you want to hunt.
