Question

[luberhill]

So if you use two pryodex pellets , do you crush them with the bullet ? 

[Daveboone]

The intention is not to crush them, just seat firmly on top of them just like you would powder. Loads I have removed with pellets usually show some crunching though...but that could partially be from pushing them out.

Dont crush them at all load the gun and mark a line on the ram rod so you dont crush them next time u load it to 

[mowin]

No.   Do not crush them.  

It's important to get the bullet on top of the charge without crushing the pellets, and without any space between the pellets and bullet.

Yep /\ same here

I am not quite sure you can press down hard enough to crush the pellets.....you would really need to use alot of force when seating the bullet.

When I unload my muzzleloader to  clean and/or at the end of the  season, the 2 Pyrodex pellets fall out after I remove the  breechplug. They often have some small amount of "chipping" on the top of the pellets, but they are not crushed. And I seat them as firmly as I can.
