What are you shooting this year?

[rugerfan]

For me , I am going with 110 Grains of BH 209, Harvester Scorpion Pt Gold 300 Grain, and Federal 209 Primers. I usually only get a 1/2 day to a day of muzzle loader season in, was wondering what you all will be slinging this year?

I forgot to add that I am shooting a CVA Optima V2, with a Leupold 3-9 x 40 on it.

Same as always, if I can. Hoping to get another year of using the iron sights on my Hawken Woodsman. It's the only rifle long enough I can still see the front sight clearly.. ?

80gr of GOEX, a #11 cap and a Hornady GP385.

If that don't work, it'll be a scoped TC Omega, with black powder and the GP385...

T/C Hawken. Either 50 or54. 105 grains of bp, No Excuses conical.

Just got a new rig ill be using in Colorado in a couple of weeks, planning on toting it in Ga as well.

Traditions buckstalker with Williams Precision western iron sights, thor lighting 300gr ballistic tips, and 70gr by weight of 777 loose powder (~90gr by volume)

I got a new to me Omega but I really want to use thissun.

58 cal roundball.

 

[GregoryB.]

If I can see the sights clear enough I will give the 50 cal Hawken with a 270gr Buffalo Bullet over 90gr of Pyrodex a go. When the In-line makes its appearance it will be a Traditions Pursiut XLT with 100gr of 209 with a 300gr 44 Mag tucked into a sabot.

 

[Buckstop]

50 cal TC Omega, BH209 110 gr, .453 dia 265 gr Fury SBT in a Harvester sabot. CCI209M primers.

I'm shooting deer if I get the chance to. LOL

 

[frankwright]

I would like to hunt with my .54 Cal Hawken but I can't even see the peep sight well. I have been trying to get a eye appointment, I think my cataracts and old age have kicked in.
I have a CVA Optima that a good friend,who has since passed away,sold me for almost nothing.
I will hunt with it as it is scoped.
250gr SST with 90gr BH209.
I don't shoot inline much but if I do I will be changing powder. BH209 is now $52.89 for 8oz, not 10oz if you can find it.
I may try 777 but actually half a bottle of BH with practice and hunting will last me another season or two after this one.

One of my custom built flintlocks, mostly the .54 with a .530 patched round ball, 70 grains of 3fg and 4fg prime. Or my .40 with a .395 patched round ball, 60 to 70 grains of 3fg and 4fg prime.

[Railroader]

Well, I carried (didn't shoot ?) the Hawken Wednesday thru Saturday on WMA...

Time to get out my Omega, so I can see a little better!

 

[44magpastor]

CVA Optima .50
Nikon Omega 3-9-40

 

[catch22]

never been a ML guy....hunted a time or 2 with them. Always wanted to get one, but for 1 weekend a year, I cant justify it. I wish they would take a week off bow season and give ya'll 2 weeks.....or take away a week of rifle and give ya'll an extra week....something.

Good luck to ya'll!

 

[trad bow]

You can use a muzzleloader the entire rifle season. That’s what I do anyhow.

 

[ventilator]

So nobody likes an omega with 150 gr of white hot pellets and 250gr powerbelts?

 

[Deerhead]

I like my CVA Optima .50 and it likes 100 gr of white hot pellets and 250gr powerbelts?
