Anyone care to recommend a powder charge? 100 grains?

100gr of Swiss will sure do the job. Try different loads to find the most accurate. Somewhere around 100gr should be a the sweet spot.

Keep in mind that Swiss has the power of T7. So, even 85-90gr will smack them with a .58 ball. I used a .54 PRB and 85gr of Swiss last year for a cow elk. Killed her just fine.


Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.
