[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 944042, member: 33046"] I had quite a long conversation with Bob Parker a few days back. [U]What a great and knowledgeable guy[/U]. I also found out that Bob has three Ultimate muzzleloaders. Bob explained to me, that with the Ultimate, the MH was only a target bullet, NOT a hunting bullet. Although his Ultimate shoots the MH extremely well, the Ultimate doesn't give the velocity needed to expand the MH properly on game. Bob told me he can hold a 2" 400yd group with his Ultimate, shooting 160grs VOLUME of BH209 and MH's. That's **** good shoot'n from a "smoke belcher"! So if its target shooting, the MH would be the best bullet of his to shoot. I prefer to shoot the bullet I intend to hunt with and perfect it and myself. I ordered 100 BE's, 50 of them 275gr and 50, 300gr. Bob uses the MMP short black, so 100 of them also, along with a spin jag designed for the BE. [B]Take note: The MH requires a special loading jag for that pointed bullet.[/B] I also have 100 of Ultimate's "Whitetail Medicine" bullets on the way. I'm hoping like heck, the bullets come today in the mail, as this afternoon would be a great day to head to the gun club range. The next few days are all rain...... Addicting and expensive? No kidding :) Not just with the necessities but, with all the "extras". The wife is keeping an eagle eye on me lately.
