Fury 265g Bullet

LOL no it doesn't. The maximum safe charge is 84 g by weight, I agree with you 100%,but, sometimes people get carried away with too much of a good thing. They also have muzzleloaders out designed for "magnum" charges.

It has to be 95g volume; 84g weight is the maximum load for Blackhorn powder.

A magnum charge is 150 volume grains of black powder, which is most guns sold new today. Subs are generally around 15 or 20% of the 150 by volume. T7 and Bh209 are 20% less. I think a lot of new people get confused between the subs and black powder usage first off when they see magnum then further mixed up between weight and volume when one or the other is n.

not to start an argument but i believe that the paramount is calling for 150 gV of BH209 which is 105 g by weight

 

[GM54-120]

Yes and Ron is shooting a Knight. All current Knights are 120gr of BH209 by volume MAX.

Maybe think of the Paramount as a semi-custom gun due to its extra capacity.

Great shooting Ron.

 

[ronlaughlin]

Why thank you Ken

Hard to think of the rifle as a semi-custom, when its actually production. I believe in the very close future you'll find more production rifles capable of that charge.

I don't doubt that Encore50a. Muzzies seem to be going the way of centerfires with Magnumitis. I'm happy that all of my muzzies shot pretty much lights out with lighter loads.
