[QUOTE="esshup, post: 1019280, member: 11101"] Good question! I'm using 70.0 grains of H-4198 behind a Barnes .40 cal 195g Muzzleloader bullet, Flat Base, Item number 40052B. :) I could push them faster, but I'm getting the best accuracy with that load. 835 fpe, 1389 fps is what Load From a Disc is saying. Savage Muzzleloader, Pac-Nor barrel. A few guys with the same set-up are doing deer depredation shoots (would it be incorrect to call it hunts as you are doing a job for the farmer?) and they are killing Indiana Whitetails at 400 yds. At 300 yds, the load is 1676 fps and 1217 fpe. Yeah, the bullet is a brick, but I've seen worse!! [/QUOTE]
