Well, the Muzzle-Loaders.com crew was finally able to spend some time doing testing with the various muzzleloaders this spring. The most anticipated part of the testing was the velocities by powder. Keep in mind, this was done with two different muzzleloaders, with CCI 209 Magnum primers with each load.
With the Firestar Pellets, we were able to get an average velocity of 2205/fps, between the CVA Accura LR and the Traditions Vortek Strikerfire LDR with 30" barrels. This was done using a PowerBelt AeroLite 250 grain bullet, but we have plans to test other bullets in the future.
This was just one small test that we did that day, so keep an eye out for more information in the near future. To see how the powders stacked up, I included a link below.
