I have a traditions Lightning muzzleloader its got the fluted nickel barrel with a muzzle break Ive had it for several years now and the book on it says it`ll handle 150gr. of pyrodex but ive never even tried ive just been shooting 100gr. of 777 pellets and I was wondering if I should try 150gr.? I dont really shoot at long distances so im not real sure? how far out is 100gr. good for? will 150gr. get me some more distance? 200 yards would be a great distance to shoot at but I highly doubt ill ever shoot over say 150 yards but if 150gr. will get me some extra distance then ill try it out.
thanks,sean
