Huntsman Load help!

[Winshotgun]

Hello, I just got this Huntsman but it didnt come with a manual does anyone have info about a proper load to shoot thanks and where I can get a manual thanks for the help.

I have settled on 90gr. 777, and a 295gr. powerbelt. Terrific on whitetails for me. I would also advise if using scope to get quick detachable rings.
Makes cleanup easier. In fact I clean like a regular rifle.. no water,
and never any crud or sign of corrosion / rust. Rub light machine oil
(Singer, or any name gun oil) on whole barrel assembly, and I'm ready for the next hunt. Am I the only without the bucket of hot soapy water?

Blackpowder or blackpowder subtitute powders in 50 thru 100 grain (measured by volume) charges should be safe in the gun.

my load of choice is a hornady .45 cal. 300gr xtp with a 45/50 sabot and 85grains pyrodex.

Start with a light charge of say 70grains and work up....most find the best accuracy in the 80-90 grain range.

I'm new to this forum and new to the Huntsman as well...but after sighting my Huntsman in I settled on .245 grn Aero Tip Powerbelt and 90 grns of Pyrodex powder...I'm averaging 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards with it...Out of 4 Muzzleloaders that I have owned this one is by far the most accurate...I bought the Huntsman to replace a Knight that I couldn't even get on paper at 50 yards... :roll:
