I am hoping to get the range saturday and start working on some loads for next season. I like to know what charges ya'll that are using cheap shots are using. I know they are 240 gr bullet. I been using 85grs pyrodex p with all my 240 gr xtps.

I am also going to work with some tc maxi hunters 350 gr.

I may work with some triple seven and/or RS.

On your Cheep shots Start with 80 - 85gr work your way up but not past 100gr
On your Maxi Hunters Start out with 75 - 80gr Work your way up but don't go over 90gr

Ditto what ISP said on the Cheap Shots. I get great accuracy with them with 85-100 grains of RS or 777.

80-90 grains of powder. From all the range reports on Cheap Shots.. they are an accurate load and very deadly on whitetail deer...

I have a Buddie that uses the t/c cheap shots in his t/c 50 cal. flinter with 85 grain of 2F black powder
and he say it put a hole like a softball on the exit side:He has never lost deer with them bullet and the deer only take a few steps after being hit.I may give them a try in my flinter someday

so basicly, what I been running with the xtps (the 85 grs pyrodex p), is dead center of the cheap shots. I am going to take my time on this load, I don't know how the roads are going to be saturday, just got hit with our first winter storm

130gr RS worked well for me in the Omega; gives me great accuracy and the deer I shot with it last year died
