Default I havent been here in awhile......

Just checking in all. I havent been in here since the end of Muzzleloader season here in Indiana. Hope is all well and you guys are burning some powder. Nope, I havent bought any new guns, still shootin my Omega. In the process of buying a house so the TC will have to do. Has anybody bought any new guns??? I bet Cayugad has... Hope to visit more often, you guys got a ton of info thats invaluable.

I believe Cayugad has, in fact ;D

I have not. Still shooting my Omegas -- thumbhole and X7. Playing with the 325gr FTX bullet out as far as 500 yds. Trying to find time to shoot a few bullets sabotloader kindly sent me.

Welcome back...

Well actually I have been behaving and have not purchased one for a long time. Also still recovering from knee surgery, so I have not even shot that much as walking ruff ground is a little painful. But we will be at it soon.

Hope your knee heals quick Cayugad. I'm sure it will, very common surgery anymore....I'm sure you wont have any troubles chasin whitetails in Wis this fall. As far as bullets changes instead of a new gun purchase. I'm debating whether or not to switch from Hornady Mag 300 gr or try something else....I've used them since 1995 and love the way they perform...But on the other hand, I like to try new things.....But I still love shooting the ole roundball out of my Lymans Great Plains rifle.

Half the fun of muzzleloaders is trying different bullets. At least in your case, you have a tried true combination you can always fall back to. Or if you find a better mouse trap you can play with that.

Also I agree, them old roundball shooters are a lot of fun.
