[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1205334, member: 75779"] I know you mentioned you're focused on BP, but I'd recommend smokeless for distances out to 300. If you've never shot one, you need to. More energy, less powder, cleaner, and can run sabotless. Buy a rem 700 ml, switch out the barrel and go kill. I run a smokeless encore and would only consider BH 209 if I shot a substitute. My hunting consists of shots less than 150 and often less than 80 yards. So my slow load shoots 2300 fps with a 300 gr bullet. It's a half to 3/4" gun and the deer really don't like it. Shooting 200grs of pyrodex/related is brutal, but it's your shoulder. [/QUOTE]
