Muzzleloader Bullets

[deermanok]

About a month ago, one of the members sent me an assortment of bullets to try out in my new Optima V2 rifle.
I finally got around to getting the chance this morning.
The clear winner for me were the 300 grain Hornady XTP bullets in a green Crush Rib sabot.
With 90 grains [V] of Blackhorn, all the shots at 50 yards produced practically one big hole, about a 1 inch high and a inch or so to the right of the bull.
I'll be ordering a box for deer season.
Having trouble uploading a picture from my phone today, otherwise I would.
Many thanks to 10 acres for the bullets.

I'm happy for you that you got to get some shooting in & your gun liked the bullets.
