That is awesome for your boy, my son is also 7 but has not been shooting. I shoot Shockwaves and they load great with an application of a small amount of grease on the sabots. I am looking now for some heavy conicals to try in my 1 in 32" twist gun for use in heavy timber some where in that 525 grain bullet should work. I have heard Powerbelts like less powder charges but they do get the job done. I have wanted to try those Platinum bullets but the prices are so high.

I am using the muzzleloader to hunt deer and coyotes with my son, so I can't imagine that I will ever need a heavy bullet like that. I am kind of recoil sensitive too so no big loads in my future.

My son was born to hunt, that is all he does or wants to do. He started shooting a bow at the old age of 3. He shoots almost daily with a bow or muzzleloader. He is not interested in centerfire rifles or shot guns so much, but he will shoot them if he has the chance. You should get your son out and let him shoot your ML, he may love it.

I hear you I need to get him away from those damn video games and the World Wrestling Entertainmnet.:biggrin:

the 50/40 chrush Rib sabot Harvester has on the page.

seeing how the kids and father all shoot light loads, i'd stick with the soft lead powerbelt.

Try the Harvester crush rib sabot:
