This is th BP gun I've hunted the most with; a CVA Kentucky kit gun, .45. Favorite load is 66 gns Pyro P stoppered down with a home-cast 250 gn TC maxi-ball. Velocity is 1585 fps (clocked about 12 feet from the muzzle).

This gun/load has accounted for 4 whitetails, 3 mule deer, two turkeys, two hogs,one javelina.

Just got an Optima .45 but am still working on a load for it
