I jost got myself an 8ga muzzleloader. It shoots around 1000gr ball! I am excited to take it antelope and deer hunting.
Just kidding. I was wondering if anyone shoots muzzy's 69cal and up? What is your load? I think a Bess would be sweet but I was just wondering. I don't know if I will ever own anything that big but they are interesting. Anyone shoot some large bores out there? What do you use it for?

I shoot a 69 cal, I shoot 170 grains 2F, .015 patch and .678 ball, very accurate.
Is this out of a smoothbore or a rifled musket? I have seen some of the Civil War reproductions and they always interested me...

8ga muzzleloader
] I could not imagine pulling the trigger knowing I'm stoked with 170 grains of blackpowder! I'd be too chicken.
