There are plenty of other boosters for duplexing out there that will work with 4198 if you want to go that route. Clays, all of the dot powders, Unique, etc to name a few. Something to get that initial fast push and get the bullet to grab the grooves. I use 10/50 of Blue Dot/IMR4198 in my break open with a sabotless 250FTX and get very good results from that load. It's easy on the shoulder too.

It's easy on the shoulder too. Appreciate the info Rambler. I'd really prefer to stay with a single powder if possible, just for the sake of simplicity while reloading out of my portable climbing stands. But I do have a pretty good lead on getting ahold of some more 4759, so that's encouraging
Have you had a chance to harvest any deer with the 250 FXT's? If so, how was the terminal performance / meat damage?
Thanks,
YB

I have not killed a deer with the 250FTX but riverrat has and loves them.

I shot 5 deer and a yote with the 250 FTX this past season from 75 to 170 yards and it did a vey nice job.

YB are you coming to the spring challenge? I might know where I can find some 4759. If you are let me know and I will see if the business still has some in stock.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make the Challenge. I was able to root out 4 lbs. of 4759 from an individual here locally, so that should hold me over for a while. If I find that I'll be able to break away and make the challenge I'll give you a shout, if your source still has any then I wouldn't mind stock piling some more.
Thank You! YB
