I have a thompson center 50 cal that I finally get to shoot,problem is I'm not sure of the powder load. I have been doing research and they say 700-900 grains is good but to me that seem like way to much,any advice.
maybee the people you were talking to were wrong or maybee you misuderstoodthat's what I was thinking but everyone I talked to said more...confusing.
That's clearly a misprint. First of all, you couldn't burn that much powder, and that plus a conical would be a 1200 grain load and a certainly sore shoulder, assuming nothing else gave up first.I have a thompson center 50 cal that I finally get to shoot,problem is I'm not sure of the powder load.

Pretty sure I misunderstood them.

The user manual gives you some recommendations from the manufacturer.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, MEC...
An excellent and very interesting post.
Thank you for your research and post"
But, how does a newbie tell a "know-it-all" from a genuine helpful soul? They don't come with brands, as far as I know.
