Hey guys I have a Traditions yukon 50 cal and I am shooting Hornady 240 grain XTP sabots. Was thinking of going with the pellets over loose powder. Any help on what brand or loads you think would be best for this gun. Also 100 grain or 150. I have a 3x9 scope on it. Thanks fellas.

Make sure your rifle can handle a MAG load if you decide to shoot 150. I usually hunt with 150 but afte a few shots at the range,I'm done. Pellets save a lot of time as compared to measuring powder.

I also use 777 pellets 100 gr with the T/C sabots 240 gr works great to at least 100yds.

I found that Jim Shockey's Gold ( American Pioneer powder ) Sticks works Great , 2 sticks(100 Gr) with a 250 bullet works great for me,, 100 yrds 2in groups
