I don’t understand the obsession with more power/powder is better. I’m an accuracy fan. From comments here a lot of guns shoot more accurate at lighter loads. Seems for most US big game 80 grains is plenty of oomph. I particularly like a cushion when BP shooting, Only been 3 years of experience with no one to shoot with to learn from so I am much more comfortable at lighter loads. Fact is most or all that I have learned is from manuals and this site.
What’s your take on load size?
Phil,depends where you are hunting and how far the area will permit you to
shoot.I agree 80 or 90 is plenty........TOO EACH HIS OWN!!
