Ive been researching the idea os getting a revolver or single shot bp pistol, and am wanting it to try for deer hunting. Can anyone recommend one they use?
I see a Traditions Deer Hunter which is a single shot for around $300 at Bass Pro? Would this be worth trying?
Thanks
I think I read in some post that the can take a charge of 70 grains of powder. Which if that barrel burns it all, would be enough velocity to get the job done, as long as you did not shoot too far. I have a black powder revolver, but they do not make standards for hunting in Wisonsin. Plus I am not sure I would ever use them anyway.
They would be fun to shoot in at the range if nothing else. Should be some good recoil there for the hand cannon. Also there are some home madeblack powder pistols out there that really look nice. Some have used them. One poster I know of mounted a RED DOT on his and has used it deer hunting.
