Come on down, brother. Plenty of good bucks to be had……and we'll always welcome another good 'ole boy around here. Congrats on your archery kill today, too.

Deputy819 was my lucky charm today. We were on the same "page" I suppose since both of us were lucky today. Sorry for the picture, but was getting dark and nobody else to take the photo with me in it.

Converted CVA 45-70 Scout smokeless muzzleloader.

Okay but here's my thing. Luke recommends 80gr of h322 which is great. But what if that doesn't shoot worth a ****. Do you move up in .5 gr increments, full grain, move down. When is too much and too little pressure. That's the part I don't understand. I fully intend to stick with what my builder recommends which most likely is what Luke recommends as he uses arrowheads stuff and recommmeds h322.

I go max recommended, the ladder test down .5 grain at a time, wont take long. without the brass variables theses guns give crazy low SD's and ES's

On my last outing using 10x @ 90Gr with pittman 303HC I had a 3 shot test group with a ES of 3 and SD of 0. Shot same load 6 more times and es was 10 and SD 2 or 3. Don't remember exactly but was shocked.

My apologies to all. I should not have interjected in the way that I did.
I just sometimes think that technology is going to be a major player in us having shorter hunting seasons and I let it get the best of me.
My apologies for interrupting your thread Deputy819.
