[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5453205, member: 5787"] What kind of performance were you getting, or lack there of? Muzzleloaders in general just aren’t the performers as rifles are. I’ve shot shockwaves for years and have had great success with them until last year. I vowed to change something in my setup, as it should have been a gimme. I decided to change powders. I went with BH209 instead of 100gr of 777 pellets and I’m getting about 700 more foot pounds of energy just by doing that. I truly believe that would have made all the difference in the world. I didn’t get a chance this past offseason to do some penetration testing on water jugs, but plan on doing that next offseason with several different bullets. I may change my mind then. I’ve been 4 for 4 on mature bucks with the shockwaves….until last year. Didn’t find him until February. I questioned everything and honestly would have made a bullet change if I just had a few shockwaves left. I’ll know for sure after my penetration tests this coming offseason [/QUOTE]
