BH209 starting load

[DANNY-L]

Where is a good starting point for a 45cal.300gr bullet with harvester sabots and BH209,traditions pursuit LT  I'm thinking around 90 gr.(volume) but would like input. I looked for data at bh209 web site but it wouldn't let me on.Thanks

Thait is probably exactly where i would start also..

I started at 80 gr. wit a 300 gr sabot, it was very accurate.

I would start in the 80 to 90 grain range.  You will not need anymore than that

[DANNY-L]

Thanks all,I think I've got the proper items to get it going. Won't be long before the season is upon us.

just make sure you de-carbon the breech plugs flash channel with the 3mm or #32 drill bit after 6 shots or so.

[DANNY-L]

I have read that elsewhere BB,thanks for the reminder.

in my H&R sideick, I use 777 primers with awesome ingition and no build up.  best o fboth worlds. I just ordered a bergara barrel for the encore with the original and new midofied nreexh plug.  It will be here by Thursday I hope so I can get it on and give it a try.  My plan is to use a muzzleloader all season.

One shot is all it take's Bubba,good luck. I wish traditions made that same breachplug,I like that 22 hornet idea.

Got it zeroed @ 100yds .829" 3 shot group, I started with 90gr with a 1.614" group but settled with 100gr. useing tc 300gr. 45cal. shockwave, harvester crush rib sabots,,bh powder,cci 209 magnum primers.

[bubba]

I really like the success with it so far.

[bubba]

I just got a bergara barrel for my encore.  I am shooting 100 grains of bh209 cci regular primers and 240 grain xtp in a harvestor crush rib sabot.  deadly accurate at 100 yards.  50 yard target you could cover three shots with a penny.

Now we just have to play the waiting game bubba 

[bubba]

yup stands are up plots are up all is ready.  We should get together for a little hunt this fall

[DANNY-L]

ya and it's going to be here before we know it,I also need to double check stands this week. Around here in the evening the deer have been really hitting the fields packing on some weight.

[bubba]

y have been hammering the imperial white clover plot, but leaving the sugar beets alone so far

[DANNY-L]

I think they start hitting them after the frost gets them,but not possitive. They will get em. Might be perfect for late season.

[bubba]

that is axactly true and that was exactly my plan
