It all depends on the model. Most of the time if it says Magnum on it you can shoot 150 grain but most are 100 grain and pretty much all muzzeloading rifles will shoot 100 grains safely. I have a CVA Optima Mag. and I don't think is worth the extra money unless your shooting like 300 yards all the time.
