I have a 12 ga. side lock muzzleloader (T/C Black Mountain Magnum) and have been playing with some different loads, etc. to get the best performance for turkey hunting. I am still not satisfied with my results (probably never will be). My best pattern is a result of 85grains of FFg black powder with 1/8th inch hard over the power card followed by two lubed ox-yoke wads, shot cup with 1 1/2 grains of #5's followed by two thin over the shot cards. Also, I am using a T/C XFL Turkey Choke Tube. I am getting approximately 6-8 pellets in a turkey's kill zone at 40 yards. Just curious if anyone else has this gun, it is very similar IMO to a New Englander 12 ga.? What are some of your loads and results? Anybody have any other recommendations that might improve my results? Thanks.
