Stone Cold I also shoot a Traditions Evolution Long Distance inline with 100 grains of pellets. It groups inside 2 inches at 50 yards and throws the 240 sabots all over the target at 100 yards. Go figure. I just got some 30 grain Pyrodex Pellets. That gives you 60, 80, 90, 100, 110 grain options. I am also new to this and need to try 80 & 90 grains. I am sure I do not have a problem with breaking the pellets they are pretty tough. I use a Traditions pre buttered patch between each shot and the barrel stays pretty clean. At least a second patch comes out clean when I tried two consecutive patches.
