How Much Powder In .45Cal. Muzzleloader?

[oneshot]

I have a.45Cal. Inline Muzzleloader 1:28 Twist, shooting Maxi Balls.

Does just fine 80Gr. Powder thinking of dropping down to 60Gr. of Powder. Will this be enough for Deer 100 yards +.

I think if you can hit them it will do fine; only way to know if you can hit them is to load up and try it out.  I’d get a big piece of cardboard and aim dead on for the bull placed In the top third to get an idea of drop and go from there.  I think 70 gr is a pretty common charge for a 245 maxi.

Ah I was going to the Range with it.

I think it is a good rifle. The guy before me was shooting Power Belts with 150Gr. Pellets.

I was like Ok!
