Dang, I guess I'm a very unethical hunter fellows...

See, back in 1977 I bought a beautiful, custom made flintlock in .45 caliber from Bob Watts down in Atlanta...I used this caliber for deer until 1990, when I finished my .54 and then converted the .45 to a .40...

I killed a boxcar full of deer with that .45 and a 128gr roundball in front of 75grs FFF Goex...Never had a problem with deer, in fact the only reason I built a .54 was because of the bear population that has exploded in eastern North Carolina...

As most know a roundball won't give the penetration of a jacketed bullet and the ballistic coefficient is miserable...Yet somehow our ancestors managed to put game on the table for hundreds of years before elongated bullets came along....

So, what do I do??? Turn myself in to the Unethical Police???
