Usually the snow is all gone by May.. although we can and do get a May snow storm sometimes. I've rode snowmobiles in May actually. Then it starts snowing in September sometimes, but usually October before we get any good snow.
So that is a Harvester Scorpion PT 260 grain? Right...

These are what you have. http://www.harvestermuzzleloading.co...chk=1&Itemid=3
PT stands for polymer tip. You can purchase the bullets in bulk from Harvester or Grafs sells them in 12 packs with crush rib sabots for $9.99.

cayugad ~
I will be trying for the first time
I will start with 2 ~ 50 gr pyrodex pellets and T/C Shockwave 250 gr. yellow sabotted bullet It was also suggested to try 150 gr Pyrodex as it may shoot better.
That is what has been suggested to me.

I the Genesis I had I tried 150 grains with 295 Grain Powerbelts and it shot horribly. Also seemed like the bullet was tumbling. That combined with a lot more recoil than I wanted and the price, I cut back to 100 grains and the groups really tightened up.
That being said each gun is different and yours may not be the same way.
Mine shot 2 100 grain Pyrodex pellets and a 300 Grain Fusion bullet very well, as well as the 300 grain Speer Deep Curl bullets.
Heck, everything I shot in it shot great. It really shot great with the Powerbelts too, but unfortunately I had to ditch those due to the horrible performance I got when using them for deer.
I've got several big complaints about the quality of the Genesis that I had, but the accuracy wasn't one of them.

The best group I ever shot with the Genesis was one afternoon at 66 yards I believe it was. This was shooting Pyrodex RS pellets. Two of them. And I was shooting 250 grain Barnes MZ Expanders with the red sabot they came with. I have never done this since.
