I just bought my first muzzleloader a month or so ago, a CVA Wolf. I'm pretty excited about it. I took it out for some shooting this past weekend and was having trouble hitting bullseye at 25 yards. The shots were grouping on the target but they wouldn't hit bullseye.
Anyway...my question is.....is there a real difference between shot shell 209 primers and the 209 primers made specifically for muzzleloading?
The ones I am currently using are the Federal 209A primers. I got these because that's all the store had. Are these considered a good primer?
On a side note...I'm shooting 2 White Hot pellets and a 250 gr Hornady SST Sabot. Is this considered an acceptable combination? It came down to Hornady or Powerbelt at the store and I read more bad reviews about powerbelts than anything.
I'm hoping for a decent group at 100 yards. I'll be mainly deer hunting in a bush so shots won't be very far when I get a chance.
