Default What bullet did you use last year and......

how was the results?

I started off last year in TN using the 250grn Hornady FTX. I shot one Buck and Two Doe and the results were not good. No blood and needed help finding the Deer on all occasions. I actually lost a Deer with that bullet. No blood or anything to find in the deep woods.

I came back to PA and used the 275grn Parker Ballistic Extreme and shot a couple Deer in our early Muzzleloader season. As usual this has been one of the best bullets i ever used.

Took off to Texas and used the Trusted 275grn Parker Ballistic Extreme. I shot coyotes, plenty of Deer and a Buck with this bullet. Excellant results every time.

Came back to PA to try and shoot a Buck with a 250grn T/C Shockwave. Got lucky the and achieved that. The bullet performed excellant with plenty of blood to track and the good size buck only went about 40yards.

Went out to Ohio to a friends house and shot a couple Doe with a 250grn SW to support what i had found with the PA buck. Again no problem and great results.

Back to PA in Flintlock season and shot a couple Doe with a 300grn Precision Rifle Extreme Elites HP. Here again excellant results and lot's of blood to track no more then 40 or 50 yards.

I've enjoyed using a variety of different bullets over the years. One thing is for sure, there are plenty of bullets that will do a great job on Deer size game. Not to mention a few Coyotes and Pigs thrown in along the way.

All but one Deer was shot with BH209. The Buck in PA was shot with the Smokeless Powder Savage Muzzleloader.

These are the bullets that i used and a brief summary of the results with them. Looking forward to hear your results with your favorite bullet or bullets. As you all know, i love pictures. Dont be afraid to post your pictures as well. All animals with a Muzzleloader are Trophies to me. Horns or NO Horns.
