What load will you use this year?

For deer, a 200 grain 40 caliber XTP in a crush rib , driven by 70 grains of 3f Swiss. Velocity from my Black Diamond Super 45 XR, 1800 fps. For bear, a 357 caliber 180 grain XTP in an MMP, over 60 grains of 3f Swiss. Guessing on the velocity, but that charge gave a 180 40 cal 1750 fps. Good luck to all! Tag early and often.

The plan is to use a Hornady Great Plains 385gr lead conical with 75gr of Schuetzen 2F for bear and muley buck. Next year the same load for elk and bear.

Parker 275g BE, 105g Blackhorn, crush rib sabot, W209 primer, Omega X7.........................unless i change my mind.

Used a 472 grain 45 conical for muley buck will use a 524 grain 52 or 54 Cal conical for cow elk.

For my TC X7, I'll be using Speer DeepCurl .44cal/240gr bullets, Harvester Green CR sabots, over 110gr of BH209. Rem SST Primers.

For my Knight Disc Extreme, I'll be using Lehigh .452cal/250gr bullet, Harvester crush rib black sabot, 110gr BH209, CCI Mag Primers.

At the range two days ago, got them both to shoot 1.5" groups @ 100yds, plenty for minute-O'-deer.

That is one flat shooter....whatever it is :lol: :lol:

Inlines will be taking a back seat this year.
It's 150 years old this year; here's the load.

This year I hope to use my .45 cal H&R.As far as what load I don't know as of yet.Maybe something like 80gr vol of blackhorn with a 200gr sst.

I'll be using my favorite load with my .451 M98 White Super Safari of 70gr of Swiss 3-F and my 465gr conicals.
