Mine,
TC Pro Hunter frame with a 28 inch .50cal ML barrel
275gr Bloodline bullets in a Harvester Crush rib sabot (little tight loading but BH likes a tight fitting bullet)
85gr (by weight) BH209 which is a fairly hot load but my barrel likesum hot.
Nikon 3-9 Omega
Camo taped crutches because I doubt me damn knee will be functional by then
1 or 2 of my overly large sons to drag the beastie out
Daughter,
TC Impact (thanks Grouse)
220gr Leihigh
73gr (by weight)BH209 (found a sweet spot)
Nikon 1.5-5 Omega
1 grumpy old man with her to get away from a yapping dottering wife because the knee isn't healed up enough yet.

If I do go I want to try the new custom .58 caliber flintlock if it comes in time to sight in and work a load. Otherwise I will ground blind hunt with a .54 caliber Early Lancaster flintlock loaded with 100 grains of 2f black powder and a .530 round ball. Season starts in November.

HA,,,,It's always the other way around for me, damn kids "sneaking" away with MY rifles!! Little thieves!! "Hey pop, going on a hunt with Randal this year, mind if I "borrow" your custom built on a Mauser 98K .30-06 with the high end Shilen barrel, hand made Royal Walnut stock" That was 3 years ago. For some odd reason it hasn't made it back into one of my gun safes! Thanks for reminding me!

For sure the rifle will be an Omega X7. Scope will be 1X Vortex. Powder will be Blackhorn of about 105-110 grain. Primer will be W209. Sabot will be crush rib.
Bullet........not sure yet.........maybe 300g XTP probably.
