Not till 2010 or 2011. They are finding that the .45s on the market have bores that vary greatly in diameter.

That's all you need...

I shoot the 250 Shockwaves with 90grs Geox FFF and my buddy uses 90grs Triple 7...Sight in 2 1/2 high at 100 and you will be about 2 1/2 - 3 inches low at 150...That's plenty far for a muzzleloader...

I had the best groups with

1 . Traditions Pursuit pro 28'' barrel - 100 grains of Pyrodex

2 , Encore 26'' barrel- 90 grains pf Pyrodex

3 . Encore 26 ''barrel 90 grains - BH209

4. Encore 26'' barrel - 85 grains of 777

But i use a 300 grain xtp. . The last time i shot my encore 26 '' barrel and used 100 grains of Pyrodex i could see black powder on the snow 3-10 feet in front of me , so i lowered the charge and then there was very little . I wounder how much powder goes out the barrel un burned with Mag Loads . ????
