[QUOTE="KurtB, post: 35760, member: 2106"] Jeff, I shoot 777 ff in my 54. It seems to generate higher pressures than pyrodex of equal volume amounts. My unscientific opinion is that 150 grains of fff is pushing the envelope. You unfortunately won't get a sticky bolt or flattened primers with your Encore muzzleloader vs a centerfire. I would try hard to find a bullet that performs well in the 120 to 140 grain charges. Some degree of margin would be preferred from a safety standpoint. Have you tried the Precision Rifle muzzleloading bullets? They grouped great for me. Good luck, Kurt [/QUOTE]
