TC Omega(blued) 50cal. I use 100gr of Pyrodex(2 pellets)for a charge & a 250 gr. TC Shockwave round(yellowtip)This load setup has given me a consistent group with this weapon & I see no need to put an extra pellet in, for more "oomph". I don't have good reason to add the extra charge at this timeAt the ranges I usually shoot deer, This setup has done it's job fine for me, since I got it. One shot,One kill. Personally I would prefer a traditional one. But I wanted to get an inline also. It just happened that I got a good deal on the TC first. Haven't found a good deal for a traditional cap & ball rifle yet. One will come along eventually. Until then, I 'm happy.Try this site.http://www.auctionarms.com/or this onehttp://www.gunbroker.com/I had purchased My Hatfield from Auction arms and was real happy with the price and services.
AD, I heard a rumor you got a new toy. I'll still be carrying my CVA Optima .50 in black synthetic / stainless for smokepole season. Hope you get home for some of it.
