that is a awesome bullet. i would like to use a muzzleloader pistol that i own. it's a traditions vortex model with a 13" barrel i use 70 grns of bh 209 & a 300 gr expander but here in ohio they claim it's not enough gun. but what it amounts to is about the same energy as a 12 ga smooth bore shotgun. hope ohio changes their mind some day . i know in pa it's legal to use this muzzleloader pistol. congrat's on the nice buck
