Congratulations on the doe.. and I agree, them Speer are good bullets. The only ones I had problems with are the 270 grain .429 Gold Dots. I think I will try them in a 1-48 twist and see how they do.

I tried these as they look awesome! But they don't load very well with the tc super glides. I will be trying the crush ribs when they come.

Cayuga,

What kind of problems did you have with the .429, 270 gr. gold dots? Did they just not shoot well in your gun?

I keep reading about using Gold Dots for Muzzleloading. Gold Dots are all I carry in my defensive guns. Where do you guys buy them and what size do you buy? What sabot works best with them in an Omega? Is a 300 gr. Gold Dot suitable for Elk or do they expand too much?

These Gold Dots 300g work well in Knight Disc and my Omega with Crushed Rib sabot:
