just wondering what rifle/powder/bullets/primer and technique you have found to be the best for your rifle? i'm in the middle of changing my powder and bullets and loading techniques for my encore pro hunter 50x209 and figured i would ask what others on here have found to work for them.

I am using Triple 7 pellets in the black box, TC Shockwave Super Glides 250gr sabots and Winchester Triple 7 209 primers. I am only shooting 100grs of powder and getting good results. I sighted in with 100gr loads so the kick would be less when my daughter shoots. The groups were good out to 100 yards, so I left everything alone.

In my .54 Plains Rifle, 90gn of FFG Goex Black powder, a .530 round ball with a .018 pillow ticking patch. I use CCI #11 caps

My .50 likes 70gn of FFFG Goex, a .490 ball & .018 patch.

In the .54 flinter, 80gn FFFG Goex, a .530 round ball with a .020 canvas patch, prime is 3gn of hand-ground Null B

Both loads will hold a 3" group at 100yds, benched.

My little .32 Sqwerl gun gets 12gn of FFFG, a .311 ball & .015 patch. CCI #11 caps. It'll shoot a 1 hole group at 40yds.
