Hello!

Not new to muzzle loading but I didn't know what forum to post in. Is there anywhere I can read about comparisons of loads and ammo for an Optima V2 pistol? I find lots of info for the rifle, but not the pistol. The max power charge is lower on the pistol than the rifle but they are otherwise similar. I've shot ball and conical but have no prior experience with the 'power belt' bullets. What little I can find online suggests they are quite accurate but some people have trouble with their terminal effects on deer (straight throughs or they shatter on impact). Just looking for some advice on the available projectiles for this gun

thanks
 
My V2 pistol likes a 300 gr XTP in a Harvester crushrib sabot with 80 gr of blackhorn powder. I'm gonna take her hunting this fall, its that accurate!
