In fact right now I have just taken my White Umag out of the safe and have decided it is going to the Rock Pit early next week for a round of POI checking... Clay Pigeons - beware

I could go hunting tomorrow if need be, but I'd like to play around with my muzzle loader a little more before hunting season if possible. I say this because I have been shooting Pyrodex loose powder in it to save money at the range, and I'd like to shoot pellets when hunting. I'm pretty sure when I tried them in the past that they shot to the same POI, but I can't remember for sure, so I want to shoot it a few times before taking it hunting just to verify. However, if I had to go hunting tomorrow, I would, and I'd just shoot loose powder in it. It really wouldn't be a big deal.
I plan to shoot a 300 Grain Speer Deep Curl bullet this year with 100 grains of Pyrodex in Harvester Crush Rib Sabots. Last year, I shot 300 grain Fusion bullets with 100 grains of Pyrodex and these bullets seem to perform very similarly in my testing, so I'm expecting similar performance on deer.
