I'm hunting with this TC this season so while at Academy I picked up a few different bullets to try. Since the Maxi ball WILL NOT go in this thing without a 3lb sledge I tried some different bullets. Today I tried 240 gr. Hornady XTP in a green low drag sabot, 295gr. Powerbelt copper Aerotip, 295 grain Powerbelt Pure lead hollow point, and .490 PRB in a .015" ticking patch. I fired all of these over 80 grains Pyrodex RS (yes I left the black at home) and at 25 yards. The Powerbelt copper Aero tip did the best with the Hornady XTP in a sabot did the second best. The others not so great, and of course the Round ball not doing so well. I let my F.I.L fire a round ball just to make sure I wasn't pulling or something. I'm Convinced that this rifle with its half a@# twist just shoots everything HALF A@# [emoji2] Sure wish I could find a Green Mountain IBS round ball barrel. I would change barrels in a heartbeat. I just like shooting roundball. My GPR makes the TC look stupid [emoji3] But I love the TC'S look and love the triggers and lock.
