Picked one up and was wondering what grain bullet to use, what brand of bullet you'd recommend, and the Brand and load (amount of powder) used recommend. Just figured I'd get a jump on the process with some friendly advice. Thank you

power belts seem to work good in those.
Let some other chime in

I typically fire at 100 yards or less. Given that, I find that 2 pellets (100 grains) of T7 with 250 grain TC Sabots works very well. I found that the Power Belts gave me a much larger shot group at 100 yards.

348 grain powerbelts shoot best in mine with 90 grain T7 or 80-90 grains BH 209. Mine shoots best (with powerbelts) with a partially-fouled bore; one moist (not wet) patch betweeen shots gives better groups than scrubbing the bore clean.

I agree with smokepole. My Prohunter doens't mind a dirty barrel. Actually, it likes it a little dirty...
