Used to use very heavy loads until i found they are not needed. Just got into Jim Shockeys Gold. Not sure about it yet until i try that new can of Triple 7 that has been sitting here for months. Currently use:

90 grains of Jim Shockeys Gold
240 grain XTP-not Magnum, or 250 grain SST
Winchester 209Primers For M/L

These bullets shoot to the same point of impact in both the guns that i currently use.

Pittsburghunter, I hear that from my wife she don't understand either. Lee

Knight Disc Elite - 200 Grain SST with 110 gr. loose T7

CVA Hawken - 80 grains loose pyrodex patched roundball

410 gr. great plains conical on top of 90 gr. of 777.

Out of CVA Buckhorn - 90gr Pyrodex RS with a 240gr TC 'Cheapshot' lead sabot; Winchester primers.

It depends on my mood too. Last year for deer I used 120 grains of Pyrodex, and 240 grain Powerbelts. This year I'm using American Pioneer powder substitute. I think I'll be hunting with 300 grain T/C XTP Mag Sabots. I'll probably use 120 grains again.

Oh yeah, I shoot a T/C Woods rifle with open sights.

TC Renegade Lower. .58 cal 32" GM 1 in 70" twist. Caplock.
.570 Roundball. Wally World Pillow Ticking. Wonderlubed.
For now 120grs. RS Pyrodex. (Going to switch to real blackpowder after this can is gone.)

Well, now that Miss Marlin has come into my life... I shoot 150gr and 170 Remington Corelokts.

Catus, you still selling that cva staghorn and 2lbs pyrodex for $50? If you are, why dont you pm me with a shipping price and detailed info about the condition of the rifle. Im looking for a cheap starter for my nephew.
