Go with 90gr 777 & 295 powerbelt... Any primer. This has been a terrific deer load for the past 5 seasons. Longest shot = 120 yds (est)..

first timers want to use pellets(pyrodex or 777?) - w/2  50gr pellets and 250gr shockwave(bonded?)    - do shockwaves load 2nd shot easy?
also, any way to avoid acp plug conversion to improve fouling(kleanbore primers or ?)
