RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

right this second I would have to say.. deer hunting shoot a White .504 Ultra Mag with 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f, 2 1/16th fiber wads, on top of all that a 500 grain .504 diameterBull Shop NEI conical. Them deer better pray they do not come with in 125 yard so me with the set up I have. I've practiced way too much with that rifle already.

The other rifle I really want to shoot a deer with is a .54 caliber Lyman Trade Rifle Flintlock with 90 grains of Goex 2f a moosemilk patched roundball using Goex 4f as a prime. If they come within 75 yards I have no doubt I will be eating venision...

I would like to shoot one with my smoothbore, then of course there is my new CVA Stalker Carbine. Or I might take my T/C Hawkins Flintlock .50 caliber with ball. And not to forget my Knight Disc, or the Wolverine... (just kidding..:D:D:D)

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

I'll be taking out my T/C Firestorm .50 cal. It will be loaded with 350 gr Maxi-Hunters pushed by 95 gr of Goex 2F and Goex 4F in the pan. It's done the job the last two years (2 for 2), so I'm hoping it will do it again [knock on wood].

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

My quarry will be whitetail, and for the first part of the season I'll
be take'n my Lyman Trade rifle "Rock Loc" .50 cal loaded with 85grs
Goex 3f, homemade lube, .018 pillow ticking and home casted .490 R/Bs.

Second part of the season if I haven't scored, I'll take ole faithful my T/C
Hawken .45 cal with 80grs of Pyrodex RS, a home casted 250grn R.E.A.L
bullet lubedwith T/C Maxi Lube. My shots will be less than 75 yards where
I hunt.

My son, will be shooting a CVA Eclipse in .45 cal with 70grs of 777fffg
and a 180grn T/C cheap shot sabot. I sure hope he scores, as this will
be his first deer if he does.

Luck 2 all ;)

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

I may use my TC Firehawk in .54 cal. with a remington gold roundball and 100 grains APP. Havent killed a deer with this rifle with a roundball but I have with a 535 grain no excuses. If not, it I will use my new White M97 ultra mag with some large conical or white powerstar sabot 325 grain when I get a load worked up. Last but not least my old reliable TC renegade kit .50 cal. with 100 grains APP and a 495 gr. no excuses.

WOW !!!!
Reading the rest of the posts make Me think I may be loading My Omega 50 Cal a little heavy for deer. I load the Omega 50 Calwith 150 G loose Pyrodex and a 250 G Hornady SST. 3 inches hi at 100 yds and 8 inches low at 200 yds. Worked great on a nice 9 point last Year. I think I will try around 90 G of powder just for fun this Year.

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

I will be using my Omega, but not sure of the load yet. It will be either...

--250 Gr Shockwave over 2 pellets of 777 - or -

--40 Cal200 Gr Hornady with 50 Cal Sabot over 3 pellets of 777 or 110 Gr of Geox

I have watched a really nice 10 point the past two years at the edge of the woods at 185 Yards out (verified by 2 different rangefinders) but was not confident enough in my 250 Gr shockwave at that distance to shoot at it. So like the phone company this year I intend to reach out and touch someone, if he shows up again.

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

Spect i will use my Renegade 50 cal. prb and 75 or 80gr.of 3f Goex black powder during ML season. If i haven't used my 300+ deer tags, i'lldrag out the Blk.Dia. 50 cal. using 300gr.xtp's and harvester 24 sabot over 80gr. of 3f Goex black powder. [:o]:D Well won't be using the Renegade 50 or 54 sold them. Trying to raise up the coins fer a Flintlock. So i need to get out and fool with my B.D. XR Express SS 50 cal.

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

Will try out the .73 Jaeger flintlock with .735" round ball & 150 grains of Swiss FFg. Will use on PA deer, if I see any!

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

Do not forget that 58cal cayugad!!! That will be cool if you get one with your smooth bore.

RE: What will you be hunting with this year?
 

My original Knight DISC rifle with a 350 grain sabot and 100 grains pyrodex. Has never let me down yet.
