Of my muzzleloaders, nothing shoots as accurate as the huntsman.
The load that I'm most comfortable with is: 90gr 777, with either the 245
polymer tip, or 295 copper jacketed hollowpoint Powerbelts.
I shot a buck with this combo, this past Nov 16th. I only had a neck shot
at about 40-50 yds. The 295 hollow, went completely through the neck vertebra, and exited. I found a small bullet chard in the flesh. My point is that with this kind of knockdown power, at this range, a significant
increase in killing range, (say 100-150yds) seems real.
I will try 2 pyrodex pellets at the range soon, because the only down
side to this rig is; that if I don't shoot, it is a real pain in the tail, trying to get the loose powder out of the barrel breach plug threads....
