Hey Wolf,
All I read about last year was the PR bullets. I bought the 250 dead centers and shot three deer at less than 30 yards. Never a single pass thorough, I couldn't believe it.
I switched this year to the Knight red hot 250 made for Knight by Barnes. This is an awesome round. I shot one at 115 yds that not only passed through but completely blew the opposite side front leg off the deer on exit. It was just held on by skin. I hit another at 19 that passed through and looked as though I hit it with my 30-06. Awesome blood trails arnd easily recovered animals.
I have total respect for PR bulets, but would never switch back to them. They were extremely accurate, but most guys never have pass throughs with them, which results in less blood. There was a long thread on this last year if you do a search.
I shoot a .50 Knight Disc Extreme with 100 grain 777. Stainless synthetic w/ thumbhole stock
I can't shoot accurately much over 100yds because in WI we cannot have higher than 1X scopes. If we could have a magnified scope 200yds would not be an issue.

I don't really care for the PR bullets. They're overpriced for what you get. They also have over inflated BC's. The Barnes 250's are also pricey, but they are awesome on deer. One of the better muzzleloading bullets if you ask me. I don't shoot em anymore, but it's not because I don't like em.
You may also want to try the Winchester Platinum tips. That's what I'm shooting in my Extreme (same model as yours) and I average 1 1/2" groups. Although not the best shooting bullet for my rifle, they are impressive on deer and 1/2 the price of the Barnes (which are the best shooting out of my Extreme). I figure the deer won't notice the 1/2" difference in groups.
