Getting ready for muzzleloader deer season here in Oregon. Setup is a Traditions Pursuit G4 with a 30” barrel, 1:28 twist. Have been playing with Thor bullets this summer and haven’t been pleased with the groupings. Have tried different powder charges, powders, even ordered the sizing pack and two different sizes of the bullets. Decided to move on to something else. Ordered a sizing pack and eventually a box of 50 of the No Excuses 420 grain bullet. Excellent results followed. I’m shooting 100 grains of T7 FFG powder and the bullet. No wads, patches, etc. 1.5” groups at 100 yards will be fine for me and my hunting. I was shocked to say the least at the difference of felt recoil between shooting the No Excuses bullets with 100 grains of T7 and the Thor bullets with 100 grains of T7. The No Excuses bullet packs a whollop! I’m fine to handle the large recoil, but my question to the crowd is this: is that a safe load? I did some digging around and Hodgdon shows they’ve tested T7 FFG with a 100 grain charge all the way up to a 440 grain bullet. I looked in the owners manual for the gun and it shows a “recommended” load up to a 350 grain bullet with 100 grains of T7. Not quite sure what to think. I talked with some guys at a local muzzleloader shop and they seemed to think it was fine, but I always like more opinions if I can get them. Does anybody see any reason why this is a dangerous load with too high of pressures for that particular gun? Thanks for any advice and for overlooking any lack of obvious facts/knowledge I may be missing while thinking about this.
