Yep I got the ins and outs of how to load, how to clean etc. I plan on putting a few shots through it today before tomorrow hunt.

Id use loose powder vs pellets for hunting. and a good bullet such as this...

I killed two deer with these and they dropped in their tracks!

I got into ML end of 09 season, they are fun to kill deer with...

Yep he said he always used 90 grains of pyrodex and a hornady sabot. I picked up some new winchester #11 caps yesterday as well. Its my friends fathers and his father built it from a kit a very long time ago and even blued the stock himself. So itll mean a lot if I can get my first deer with a firearm with this muzzleloader. He's pretty much been a father to me since I was 10-11yo and he got me into hunting.

good luck! Post some pics when you all get your deer!

Be careful itslow98, black powder can be very addictive... but then again so is every other form of hunting etc.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

Just let Blowbama ban, reschedule or tax the living $hit out of Black Powder like so-called "assault weapons"and you may get your your wish!

A lot of places have already stopped carrying it. Some BS about Fire marshall threats and new laws about storage. Must have been a bunch of cans self combusting.

I don't think that the issue is "new laws" It's more like old laws that no one was following.

So how did everyone do? Pretty poor for me, no shooter bucks and even the does didn't cooperate during doe week. Had a good streak of four straight years with big bucks taken out of my ground blind on the early MZ weekend, but it's come to an end now, time to start a new streak next year.

Come to an end ? Man we still have 4 weeks of Muzzleloader season yet.
