Remington Genesis - Powder Charge Question

Remington Genesis - Powder Charge Question
My buddy bought one. It states that the gun is only recommended a max charge of 100 grains (2 pellets)
Is this true?
You can't run 150 grains in the genesis?
Not a show stopper...just curious.
Thanks.

You can shoot 150. Don't know why you would want to... but you can. Of the 3 Genesis' that I have shot personally they all grouped best between 80 and 110g.

Only BPI/CVA limits powder charges to 100 grain loose, anyway that si the only company I know of...
Check page15 in the owners manual for suggested and recommended loads

We’ve stretched the limits of muzzleloader performance. With a full 28" of powder-burning steel, the Genesis™ generates maximum velocity from magnum 150-grain charges

RE: Remington Genesis - Powder Charge Question
I'm also planning to try increased loads, 110, 120 and 130 gr Pyrodex RS under the FPBs. If accuracy is maintained with 130 gr, I'll have a 150 yd load: 2" high at 50, 2.5" high at 75, zero at 125 and 3.5" low at 150.
Not too shabby for a 350 gr slug.
