I'm new to muzzle-loaders. My rifle is a CVA MR-X Accura with a William's Precision Fiber Optic Sight. The load that has been grouping well for me is 300 gr Hornady SST w/low drag sabot, 120gr T7 (2 60gr pellets), and T7 primers. Plan to hunt Roosevelt elk shots likely 100yds or below.
I'm having a problem getting more of the T7 in 60gr pellets. My question is would there be a significant drop in terminal performance if I dropped to 110gr (1 60 gr pellet and 1 50gr pellet). If I combine my supply of 50's and 60's I will have plenty for practice and my elk hunt. I understand I would need to check my grouping using the decreased load.
