Was curious how many folks are out there hunting with a .62 caliber rifle?
I currently have a .54 GPR flinter that I really enjoy. Haven't killed any deer with it yet, however I know the .530/.535 ball is a great ball for deer in that I've killed many with a percussion Hawken in 54.
I recently contacted TVM and inquired on a flintlock .62 caliber build. I would imagine the larger ball would be more efficient in taking big game.
For those that do hunt with a .62, how long a barrel does your rifle have? What kind of loads do you find the most accurate? And lastly, what made you choose a .62 over the smaller calibers or even the 69 or .72 caliber?
Thanks for your help
