Well I got my first ML that I bought off this site and am currently awaiting a stock that I also purchased off this sight. Now I'm ready to dive in head first. I'd planned on using T7 pellets but I've been reading a lot about the "crud ring". Would Pyrodex pellets be better. Would I be giving up much against the T7. Black Mag isn't available anywhere around here. I'm working on a local sporting goods store to order that and some T7 primers for me. Should I even consider loose powder as a beginner. I reload extensively for my centerfires. So, I'm not scared to try it. Just didn't know if it was worth trying. Oh yeah, I plan on shooting a 250 grain sabot. Just not sure which one yet. Any suggestions? Mainly going to hunt antelope and deer. Thanks in advance and you can bet you'll be hearing a lot more questions from me. This is a great site!!!
