Got a new 1858 Pietta 44 muzzleloading pistol for Christmas Last year and haven't had a chance to load and shoot yet. Thought I would try on deer if I can get proficient enough with it. Anyone here have one of these and use it to deer and hog hunt?? I am going to load according to the manual 28 grains of Pyrodex. But, will probably start with 25, 26 grains to be safe. I will use round balls but would like to try conicals. If you have experience with both of these on deer , hogs please let me know. Just curious as to the how it does in the real world.
Thanks for all your sharing of info.
