I agree with sabotloader. I have read many posts from Cayugad since my short time with this forum and he has always been right on the money when he gives advice. I started hunting with an old F.I.E. Kentucky that has a 1 in 66 twist. I was initially told that it was the perfect roundball twist but wouldn't shoot conicals. However, I tried some solid lead conicals called Buffalo Bullets and they shoot just fine. They do kick a lot more cause they are three times heavier. However, sabots do not shoot worth a darn from this particular rifle. But I also now own an in-line in 1 and 28 twist that will shoot everything I can put down the muzzle. It doesn't shoot the roundballs quite as accurate as my Kentucky but I guess it wasn't designed to do so with that rate of twist. I would say it will provide me with what some hunting guru's term as "hunting accuracy" but I'm too finicky when it comes to hunting game. I want my equipment whether bow, muzzleloader, rifle, or pistol to be target accuracy. I hate seeing animals wounded and I do eat everything I hunt.

So the bottom line seems to be to just experiment with your rifle. Cayugad has certainly given you so great loads to start out with.
