I have more then 1[]. However the 2 most used in huntingterms are currently:

Subshooter:

Rem 700 MLS 26" Syth. Stock (bedded and pillared)-50 cal - Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40 scope - Warne Maxima QR's
It likes a lot of loads, however when it comes to hunting my all time favorite bullet is the 260gr Nosler partition loaded under 105gr of T7 and set off by 209W primers.

Smokeless shooter:
Savage 10II SS with custom Laminate Stock (bedded and pillared) -50 cal - Zeiss Conquest 3.5x10x44 - Warne Maxima QR's
Long rangecurrently 250SST/MMP HPH24 sabotunder 43.5gr IMR 4759SR or 300gr SST/HPH 24 sabotunder 68.5gr H4198.
90% of my huntingI use the250gr MZ/MMP HPH 24 sabot, under 43gr IMR 2759SR.
Primer 209W's


I plan to add,I have an itch for a new sub shooting inline. Its between the TC Truimph, Encore and Knight KRB at present.

I have a stainless/synthetic TC Black Diamond 45 XR with a Burris 3x9x40....I use MMP 45/357 sabots with .358 Speer 250 spitzer flat base over 160gr of T7 ignited by a Fed 209a primer...yes I know its 10gr over published max, but my rifle has the early 1-20 twist..It likes long for caliber slender bullets as fast as you can drive them..I'm getting a hair over 2290fps average and 1.6" 100yd groups and 2.7" 200yds and 3" 250 yd groups..that fast twist keeps them stabilized way further out sighted 3" high at 100 I'm only 15" low at 300 and with 1200ft/lbs left[>:]...I would not hesitate a shot

Wow, 300 yard shots with an inline muzzy loader. And they try telling us that inline muzzleloaders have no advantage over the traditional muzzleloader

Traditions kentucky .50 flintlock
Deer Creek .45 Percussion
CVA Bobcat .50 percussion
Lyman Great Plains .54 Flintlock
Belgium .54 Flintlock " no clue what the name of it is"
TC Hawken .50 Percussion "Been in TC hands for almost a MONTH now[:@]"

Traditions Flinter,


Deer Creek .45 with 225 grain Powerbelt,



Top to bottom,
Kentucky, Deer Creek and the Lyman Great Plains "work in progress"


Very bottom is the Belgium .54 Smoothbore flintlock i picked up not to long ago. That One will be stripped and restored after the GPR is done,
