[QUOTE="ATH, post: 168150, member: 1656"] In my experience, the flattest long-range loads will be found with either the 195gr Dead Center from Precision Rifle, the 220gr .40 Dead Center, or the .40 200gr Shockwave. In my guns, the deciding factor was velocity. Precision Rifle bullets are 100% soft lead, and they lose accuracy between 1800-2000 fps. I could push the 200gr Shockwave over 2100fps with 110gr 777 and get superior trajectory out to 400yds. I have NEVER shot a muzzleloader that maintained accuracy up to 150gr. If I were hunting very large or dangerous game at closer range, I'd shoot a heavy bullet over max charge and give up some accuracy. But I've taken deer out to nearly 300yd, targets to 400yds, so I want max accuracy and I get this at 110gr 777. Only testing your gun will tell. I shoot Omegas, however I know a couple guys with Encores that max out accuracy at only 85gr. [/QUOTE]
