Finding the sweat spot

Quote:
I see a lot of varying reviews about using powder and pellets
I to see them as opinions or options. You will have to work the shot-string for yourself. You listed 777 and White-hots. Another option, is Blackhorn-209 and I have been hearing some good reports on it. I prefer loose powder as I can fine tune my shot-string and easier for me to work with but pellets would be fine but more expensive and they have their share of problems. ....

As for your loading data, this will be listed, in your manuals. Max is probably 150grns. that you really won't need. The general rule of thumb is that the min load is the caliber and the max is 2X the caliber. My optimum target load, is in the 70's and hunting, in the 90's. Again, you have to work this out. .....

Be Safe !!!
