I have 2 options right now with a third possibly in the near future. My son and I drew cow elk this year. I will probably use my CVA Magbolt 50 loaded with either 130gr Pyro pellets and a 300SST/SW or 90gr 777 loose and a 460NE. My son will probably use the CVA Optima 50 and 300SST/SW but I'm still working on that load so it may change.i haven't had that gun long so I'm still wringing it out.My third option is a Lyman GPH/R 50/54 that I'm in the process of getting. I have the peep sight alraedy, just have to get the gun and extra barrel. I'm not sure when I'll get it or if I will have time to get it ready. Time to hit the range.

My Omega topped with a Bushnell Elite 2-9x40, for deer in Michigan. I will use this in both center fire rifle and muzzleloader seasons.( I don't have to worry about using all my tags, never see that many deer) Will use 120 grs of 777 and either a 250 gr or 290 gr Barnes TMZ, Win 777 primers.

This year will be my first year hunting so I applied for deer muzzleloader and shotgun permits but i will only hunt ML if i manage to work up a bit more accurate load.
I also look forward to hunting pheasants on our club property.
