What rifle(s) and load(s) will you be hunting with this year and what will you be hunting? I will be using my T/C 54cal Renegade on deer this year. My load will probably be 100gr Goex FFG, .530 roundball, and a .015 pre-lubed patch. If the weather gets really cold I might use some 310gr Ball-ets or some 425gr Hornady Great Plains so my patch doese not freeze to the bore. If I go elk hunting I will buy a 58cal GM barrel and load it with a 280gr Roundball using around 110-120gr Goex FFG if my barrel likes it.I know someone on another forum with that barrel who uses loads with 120gr FFG so I hope my barrel will like that to.

My .54 caliber Carolina flintlock...Loaded with 80grs FF, a .530 ball cast out of my Rapine mold and a .015 patch lubed with SnoSeal...Hunting whitetails here in NC...
Either my White M98 .451 cal with 460gn conical,fiber wad, and 80gn t7 2f or my White S91 .504 cal with 496gn conical, fiber wad, 85gn of t7 2f or my Savage 10MLII (still working up a load but hopefully it will be a 250gn class of bullet and sabot moving at 2300 or 2400 fps). I will be hunting deer and 'yotes.
If I have any tags left byOct 14 I will go after that big buck with my Omega and 50/40 -200gr been wanting to try that out but bow opens 2 weeks earlyer might not have any tags left.
I got a mule deer tag for now but august 8th i have to go down and do an in person left over draw and see if i can get a doe tag. Im taking my traditions kentucky .50 flintlock rifle and my winchester .50,x-150 inline incase weather turns bad or i cant get into range with the Kentucky.
It depends. Urban sprawl and all I will shoot traditional rifles where there is a chance of many hunters in the woods and use my inlines where safe misses could be hundreds of yards.
with the way they've cut down on the number of deer we can have
in Mi. this year .i mite not get to go out with theold front stuffer.
i could limit out in bow season. but if i do .an encore with 90gr. 777 250gr. Shock Wave
My 'ol reliable Knight Disc Extreme. If I can get a new scope for My Omega, I'll try to get one with it too. During our late season I'll use my Knight Hawkeye handgun. Not gonna use either .45.
What will you be hunting with this year?
