I just bought a combo Braztech 50ML and 243. Can I use lose powder in it or do I have to use the pellets?

Thanks

Ray

    I would think both. The pellets are just more manageable because you dont have to measure and is less messy. Essentially i think they are both the same ingredient.

    hi as a fan of muzzleloading i like pyrodex rs it shoots smooth the pellets kick to hard for my liking. the same load in powder is noticably litter in the kick department it has more of a push.now for a real suprise start with a hot load and come down insted of low to high. you will be surprised how light you will actualy load. that works for me anyhow.70-80 granes out to100 yards with 385 buffalo bullets. havent had a whitetale take a step after getting hit with that setup yet, a coupple stood strate up and flipped over backwards but not forward. that setup shoots like a 410 and hits like a trane. well thats all i have to say about that.[:p]
