RE: Muzzleloading Opinion (long)
What type of reports do you seek? Litigation / personal injury, hospital emergency room reports, or a " 60 Minutes" expose? Who does the verifying? The truth is not something you really want to hear. |
RE: Muzzleloading Opinion (long)
NO! A gun which is " safe to fire" (debatable!!) with say, three 50-grain Pyrodex pellets is NOT safe to fire with 150 grains of 777!! 777 is at LEAST 10% to 15% HOTTER than other propellants! Use at least 20 to 30 grains LESS of it than any other powder! IF you are using 150 grains of Pyrodex, I' d recommend starting with no more than 90 grains of 777 with the same bullets in tht gun! 777 pellets are actually closer to 5% less potent than Pyrodex pellets. You must be thinking of " loose" 777 which is approximently 15% more potent than Pyrodex RS/Select loose. |

I have done a lot of shooting with the 50 gr Pyrodex pellets in my TC. muzzle loaders. I can see no need to ever load more than two of those pellets. I have taken and seen taken many deer with two pellets and several combinations of bullets. They go down like a rock. I fire three pellets ONCE behind a 300 gr Hornady XTP. That was more than enough of that expierence.:)
