[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 2312731, member: 66495"] Well I got it figured out. I have not shot the 777 yet, but I have shot the bh 209. I went straight to the listed max load. After talking to several muzzleloader owners, I’ve gathered that the suggested max load for these is fairly conservative. I shot 12 shots over my chronograph. It averaged 2023 fps, with a es of 16 fps, and a sd of 11 fps. Not too shabby honestly, for what I was expecting. I zeroed it at 200 yards, and averaged a 2.33” group with 6 shots. I’d say that is very acceptable for a budget long range muzzleloader. After plugging in my information into a ballistic app, I’d say I’m deadly on paper to 400 yards. I don’t know what my groups will look like at 400 yet, but I’d say it’s safe to say I’ve effectively extended my hunting distance with my muzzleloader to 250-300 yards under the right conditions. I’m very pleased with that. The recoil is very acceptable honestly. I’ve never been recoil shy, but I was expecting more. I topped the muzzy with a Burris RT15. It’s a good budget scope, for a budget muzzy. So far I’m very pleased. [ATTACH type="full" alt="A2412635-688C-4A7F-96D8-00CD75D20733.jpeg"]304676[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
