another muzzel loader question

[dtf]

Would like some input on powders. Are the pellets better than loose powder? What are some of your pros and cons? What are the most popular bullets? How are there performance on elk? Thanks again

i shoot straight black powder FFG it shoots alot more accurate for me (but it sure is dirty) i couldnt shoot a very good group with pyridex but when switched i am real accurate out to 200 yards never shot a elk yet have a tag for one in a couple weeks but i have smoked 2 mulies.

I use triple 7 powder. It is expensive but well worth it, it burns a lot cleaner than any othe powder I've tried, and shoots an awesome group.

For bullets I prefer sabots, but in colorado they are illegal. I would suggest to try a bunch of different bullets and see wich one works for you.

209 primers, and a knight 50. Cal Seems to get the job done time and time again, for deer and elk both.

Thanks guys. Would you say that the loose powder or the pellet form works better?
