What muzzleloader bullet?

[doctorjj]

Pellets suck. Inconsistent in any gun I've ever used. I should saboted bullets with 100 grains of black powder. I can hit a golf ball at 100 yards. Also went away from the 209 primers. Too much punch. They will blow your bullet off the seat before the powder gets ignited. I use Variflame adapters which look like a 209 but use small pistol primers.

Allout,
Have you changed out the hammer spring on your Rwmington? I had one screw me last year. They get weak over time. Get a Wolff replacement.

I changed out all the internals in my bolt when I did my 209 conversion.
Different spring and firing pin.
Didn't do the hammer spring though, I'll look into it.

 

[AllOut]

I guess the spring your talking about is the one I changed with my conversion
If so I'm good to go lol

I had the same issues with the actual shotshell primer. When I changed to a 209 primer made specificly for muzzleloaders it resolved the issue.

I use a .440 patched round ball, 65gr ffg, goex bp, cci mag percussion cap. Out of an old T/C Seneca.
Never let me down so far.

250 grain Hornady SST's in my savage smokeless.
Back when using black powder, the Barnes expander killed many deer.

I use the 250 gr Barnes hollow point sabots with 2 50 gr pellets in my Knight. It is a great shooting and killing combination in that gun.

I use the plain old T/C shockwaves 250 grain with 90 grains of Blackhorn 209 and a standard Winchester 209 shotgun primer. I get good consistent groups at 100 yards.It has worked great on every deer I have shot, with that setup.

Went from Triple 7 to Black Horn 209. Was using 110 gr Triple 7with a 300 gr Hornandy XPT and now using 100 gr Black Horn with good success. No swabbing between shots and good groups at 100 and 200 yards. Also had good lick with Speer Deep Curl 300 gr for the 454 Casull in a black sabot.
