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 hunted a couple of times with a Ruger Od Army loaded with round balls and 40 grains of Pyrodex P. Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot, so still have no idea how well (or poorly) it would have performed.
At present, I am in the process of building a flintlock .50 cal. with a slow-twist 11.5" barrel. I plan to try up to 50 grains of FFFg in this one with a PRB. Hopefully, it will develop enough velocity to be useful fro deer hunting..... We shall see (in about 6 months or so!!)
