I have a CVA optima that i converted over to the variflame system and will be running BH209 in. I will be using the Hornady 340 ELDX's. I will be weighing my charges using my FX-120i. As far as charge weights go, I've been told max but I'm not looking to blow my shoulder off. I was thinking more midrange as it'll be for whitetails in the midwest.

Does anyone have some suggestions of charge weights to try? I've worked up loads for rifles but this will be my first time with loose powder in a muzzleloader (I've only ever shot white hots prior).
 
I’d look at something like 110 grV which, depending on the lot of Bh209 you’re using, will be about 88 grW.
