I haven't shot the gun yet but I am not too concerned about the selection of firesticks loads, I am sure they will eventually expand the choices. Where I hunt I will not be shooting much more than 100 yards . I will start with the 200 grain if I have a problem I will drop back to 150 grn. I am waiting for ther weather to break here so I can go to the range and sight the gun in. When I was shooting my flintlock I shot 85 or 90 grains of 3f bloack powder, both shot pretty much the same. I dropped back to 85 grains when I had teen kids shooting at conservastion camp. time will tell but I have shot factory loads in my center fire rifles all my life and had no pronblems. I did reload shotgun shells, both high base and low base for years because it was cheaper than buying factory and my income left a lot to be desired. I do not anticcipate having a problem with the firesticks, if they group windage and elevation can be handled by scope ajustment.
