I've been shooting muzzleloaders for 43 years In that time I have found that mass kills. Not velocity. Both in rifles and shotguns. Pheasant loads in a 12 bore I use equal volumes of 2f, 1 1/4 shot loads with #4 shot. If I hit a bird it's going down. I have shot a lot of BPC shotguns. I was always told the pressure was around 6k. I could make smokeless loads for skeet that were at 3k. Going over 10k with muzzleloaders new or old is not wise. It will eventually catch up with you. You get your best shot patterns with a push, not a sharp kick in the azz.
