      I make my own with a 5/8" punch. I only add enough lube to keep it from burning. I don't use store bought.

      Yes I would start with 64.5 actual grains. That should measure 80 gr. If you ue T7 pistol powder start with 57 actual grains.

      Thank you to Idaho Ron. Your writings have done more for "accurizing" my loads than anything else by far. I've been shooting T-C's in...

      I'm a prb guy all the way. However, that tight twist you have will do well with a conical. As I see it, the big downside is that a heavy...

      You're 100% right. Two holes are by far better than one. The projectile that stays in ran completely out of energy. It barely got to the...

      Obviously 45 conicals are my first choice for killing anything with a muzzleloader…. But 45 cal round balls are a 50yd prospect on deer.
