since I hunt with so many different rifles, that is too hard of a question for me to answer. I shoot a lot of different projectiles. It just depends on what mood I am in when I decide to go hunting.

I have 14 each has a different load,what ever it takes to get accuracy; some have several loads the Omega has shot about 9 well. since its the last aquiredI am still playing with it; my favorite deer load is the250 SW with 130 gr of RS or APP FF but it will group well with all SW and all the45 XTP that I have tried.

Why the heck would anyone need 14 m/l? I get by just fine with 12.

Right now im using goex 3f and pyrodex RS. Bullets range from the great plains to powerbelts. I still have to work up a good load with the powerbelts in my flintlock and see how they do at 100 yards. keep the shots under 50 yards and they are shooting great so far. Im going back to 295 grain powerbelts in my inline and playing with the same bullet in my flintlock. Both are shooting them great so far. Did you get your new gun in yet? Have you shot it?

I'm shooting Speer 300gr GDHP with harvester crushrib sabot. To push it, I use 2 50gr. 777 pellets and uses winchester 209 primers to ignite it. I get decent groups out to 100 yards with open sight.
