What will you be hunting with this year?
What rifle(s) and load(s) will you be hunting with this year and what will you be hunting? I will be using my T/C 54cal Renegade on deer this year. My load will probably be 100gr Goex FFG, .530 roundball, and a .015 pre-lubed patch. If the weather gets really cold I might use some 310gr Ball-ets or some 425gr Hornady Great Plains so my patch doese not freeze to the bore. If I go elk hunting I will buy a 58cal GM barrel and load it with a 280gr Roundball using around 110-120gr Goex FFG if my barrel likes it.I know someone on another forum with that barrel who uses loads with 120gr FFG so I hope my barrel will like that to.

Either my White M98 .451 cal with 460gn conical,fiber wad, and 80gn t7 2f or my White S91 .504 cal with 496gn conical, fiber wad, 85gn of t7 2f or my Savage 10MLII (still working up a load but hopefully it will be a 250gn class of bullet and sabot moving at 2300 or 2400 fps). I will be hunting deer and 'yotes.

It depends. Urban sprawl and all I will shoot traditional rifles where there is a chance of many hunters in the woods and use my inlines where safe misses could be hundreds of yards.

My 'ol reliable Knight Disc Extreme. If I can get a new scope for My Omega, I'll try to get one with it too. During our late season I'll use my Knight Hawkeye handgun. Not gonna use either .45.
