Hello, I just had a quick question about this Muzzle Loader,
Its the New Kind, with the 209 Shotgun Primer.
My Question is, Would it make alot of difference to use Three Pyrodex Pellets instead of Two ? It says in the manual that 150 Grain Powder charge was the Max, I was going to use this to hunt deer at less than 100 Yards.
Would a 100 Grain Charge, limit me in any way for hunting deer? I have a mixture of different projectiles, I plan to use Sabots so I wont have to mess with patches and grease. Any Advice, the Rifle is the Stainless Model with a Fluted Barrel and a Thumb Hole Stock.
