Jeff300 Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 I have definitely found myself gravitating towards lesser recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMike Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Never shot a .50 cal. pistol. But I've been fiddling the last few days with 150g loads getting my .50 cal muzzleloader smoke stick getting ready for deer season. Been told by the fam and neighbors it sounds like I'm shooting a f-ing cannon. I can't really tell with my hearing protection. But maybe I'll back it back down to 100g. 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your rifle isn't rated for it I wouldn't be shooting 150. 100 gr is much more comfortable to shoot and unless you are really trying for extended range 150 isn't worth it. At 100 yards and in the deer will never know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMike Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Rifle is rated at for 150g loads - but it doesn't shoot good groups with that load with the 290g bullets I use. 4-5" spread at 75 yds. Backed it down to 100g and I am getting more like 1-1.5" groups which is better. But still too many random flyers. Trying a different primer next time. Tomorrow is the beginning of bow season in SC. So, that's where my focus is today. Heading down to a buddy's farm to trade him some work and steaks for early access to the back 75 acres 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
