Even with its light weight i dont think you will mind something like a 225-240gr 40cal in a sabot. You can easily shoot those around 2400fps with minimal powder. You pretty much need a max+ load of BH209 to get them that fast and the added powder weight increases recoil. Its a full 30gr less powder needed with smokeless and even more if you use a faster powder.the brux .45 1-20 with the forest laminate . i'm also getting the barrel threaded for a muzzlebrake since it is so lite . i won't use the MB when hunting and i have a pair of xcel 500bt to protect my ears when using it . gotta wait a few more months till my baby gets here .....
I shot 3 deer with this load this year. 45 cal. Patriot.. Vihtavuori n120@ 55.0 grains, 45 cal. Fury veggie wad and stb 265 grain fury muzzle loader bullet. Shooting bullet to bore.. found only 1, shot this little guy quartering to me. Other 2 were pass throughs at 100 yds plus..What bullet and powder did you use.

What i like about this bullet is that when shooting bullet to bore is that its a softer copper jacket. That allows me to shoot a milder load and still get the bullet to obtruate in the barrel for great accuracy, moa..Thats a dang good hunting bullet right there.

Yes, definitely high pressure plug. I think i was around 2400 fps., do not hold me too it though as i wanted a load that shot moa at 100 yds.. will further develop this summer…Shorty,
Are you using the High Pressure plug for this load? Also, do you know the speed your getting?
That sounds like a very good load too. Im a huge fan on VV powders just dont go too wild with them. N120 is also great for some sabot loads if looking for speed.Vihtavuori n120@ 55.0 grains, 45 cal. Fury veggie wad and stb 265 grain fury muzzle loader bullet.

Thank you!!luv the Patriot porn
Thank you !!Nice, The " Patriots, Patriot ".
What twist barrel do you go with? & how’s the maintenance using that powder, will it have to be cleaned more often since it’s not the recommended bh209? Completely new to mzloaders, trying to figure out what configuration to order. Your set up looks potent with a mushroom like that!I shot 3 deer with this load this year. 45 cal. Patriot..

Using any smokeless powder will be significantly cleaner than bh209. Basically no fouling to deal with. That’s the beauty of smokeless.What twist barrel do you go with? & how’s the maintenance using that powder, will it have to be cleaned more often since it’s not the recommended bh209?
Had a little centricity problem with my brux 1/20. Sent it back to Mark. He give me a choice and i took a brand new gun with the 1/18 mcgowen. That is the bullet i shoot now. It’s awesome for whitetails. You could clean the bore once a year and be fine, the breechplug needs to be cleaned about every 15 shots for top accuracy. Mark Woodman is a great person to do business with he cares about each customer. Vihtavuori n120 is about $45.00 a pound, and alot better than blackhorn 209 that they want to much for…What twist barrel do you go with? & how’s the maintenance using that powder, will it have to be cleaned more often since it’s not the recommended bh209?
