New Pro Hunter
 
Just got my new gun today, Pro Hunter with .45 cal Bergara barrel. Sorry for the quality of the photos my camera is junk.

Mighty fine Chaded. You've got to be itching for a range session.

The pictures aren't bad. What scope are you going to use? I have a silver prostaff on my Traditions Pursuit II and the colors don't contrast too much. The rifle is more gray than silver.

Yeah ive been itching pretty bad to go shoot. I havnt shot a muzzleloader for around 2 months. Ive resorted to using a shotgun to shoot these deer on my nuisance permit i have. Im thinking im going to put the bushnell doa 250 on it.

nice setup, i got the same one in 50. Ive been thinking about getting a 45 too as a backup, its my understanding you can extend you distance on out a bit with the 45 and its more accurate, is that true? Does that barrel allow you to use 150 grains of powder?

I believe you can use magnum loads in the bergara barrel. If im wrong i know someone will correct me. I also believe you can get a little flatter shooting gun with the .45 and lighter bullets then the 50 but some will argue with that and also argue with knock down capability. I only shoot whitetail so im not worried and its also legal to use a .45 here in ohio where some states dont allow it.

Well, you are shooting a .45 with those funny plastic wrapped bullets out of you .50. :poke:

well with the 45 i think its a 40 cal bullet with the funny plastic.
