What Muzzleloader Bullets are you using

[FishThumper]

With the muzzleloader season kicking off this next Sat. thought I’d check and see what all you other muzzleloader hunters are using for bullets. I shoot a 45 Cal Thompson Center Omega. The last few years I’ve been using the Hornady XTP but have also used the Barnes Expanders with great success. My supply is getting a little low of each. Before I head out and locate a fresh supply, I thought I’d check to see if anyone here has a different bullet they would recommend possibly trying. I’m currently using Blackhore 209. I current am shooting 110 Grain by volume. I also use the Harvester crushed blue sabot

This is the 2nd Omega I've owned and had a Black Dimond prior to those. I traded a buddy my 50 Cal Omega a few years ago for his 45 Cal. He really wanted a stainless barrel and my 50 Cal. had one. So far I really like the 45 Cal. I think it is more accurate than the 50 was and still has more than enough stopping power.

Needless to say, Finding any .45 Cal bullets around here is next to impossible. I guess this is why I should check my bullet supply long before muzzleloader season. The only thing I could find in .45 cal were the Hornady SST. Reading mixed reviews on them. Although most of the Neg. reviews are rather old and I hear they made a change to the design in the last few years. I may just shoot them at sight-in and then shoot 1 of the Barnes expanders that I have remaining just to check to make sure it hits near where the SST does. I have a few Expanders remaining and will most likely use them for hunting. Other than Powerbelts there was almost nothing available around here for bullets. Even in 50 cal. In the off season I’m going to get a supply of those Fury bullets and do some shooting and testing of them. That way I’ll be all ready in advance next season.

The 1 thing i found with ML and bullets is to find out what likes to have put thru it. My  2 omegas love the  shock waves and 2 pellets of power.

I'm no expert and have only been muzzy hunting a few years. But I use the powerbelts and 2 pellets in my CVA optima. Works good for me.
