Hello Mr grant. I have a question for you about muzzleloader. what type of bullet do you shoot and what is the grain of the bullet? how many grains of black powder do you shoot?

 

Kyle,

I use a 250 grain bullet with a ballistic tip. There are several companies that make this bullet. I use 150 grains of powder (three pellets).

I use and really like a Nikon scope created for muzzleloaders.  Learn more about it at:  https://www.nikonsportoptics.com/en/nikon-products/hunting-optics/scopes/muzzleloader/index.page

Enjoy creation,
