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!

Bullet........not sure yet.........maybe 300g XTP probably.
