In reading the more popular ML boards lately, I appear to be the only one using light-side loads with inline MLs...... albeit 80 grains Blackhorn on my last range outing.
So Josmund, in using those 60-70 grain 777 loads, isn't it nice to squeeze the trigger and not feel the heavy recoil 110 grains of Blackhorn presents with 250-300 grain bullets, which is the volume and bullet size used by so many members here?
This is a sport that for many decades did not try to compete with centerfires and not only recognized ML yardage limits, but accepted those limitations.
A couple weeks ago I thought my 80 grain powder charge would be good for 150 yards with 180-230 grain sabot/bullets, in a couple different ML rifles. But I had to settle for 125 yard dependencies, without upping the powder charge.
I am still a happy camper with 125 and very content. I don't desire to shoot muzzleloaders that feel like I'm squeezing the trigger to my 12 gauge double-barrel shotgun.
Nice going Josmund and good luck in further developing those loads.
