    54 Cal ?

    I place the shot behind the shoulder with a .495 ball with 80 gr Goex FFg. Only a couple dropped, the rest ran off, and most of them left no blood trail. If all of your deer drop with your .45, then don't change anything. Everyone has different experiences hunting, which is what the person...

    54 Cal ?

    I got my first flintlock deer in Williams Township. I'm from Easton,PA. I used a .50 caliber T/C Hawken with a maxi ball; it was the last year to use conicals before the state went to roundball only. After 20 deer, I decided to try a .54 roundball. I just had a .54 barrel made for my Hawken...

    Anyone use Circle Fly Wads?

    I did not check the fps, but through a lot of 100 yd shooting, there just wasn't any difference in accuracy. The point of using a wad for hunting to keep the lube off of the powder is a good idea. I normally use CO2 to clear the load every night and start with a clean barrel every morning. I...

    Anyone use Circle Fly Wads?

    I tried them and didn't see any difference with the loads I use. I used the Circle Fly Wads. 510" Dia, 1/8" nitro cards. I tried them in my 1:48 and 1:66 barrels and there wasn't any difference. I read some posts here where others found a improvement in accuracy but each gun or barrel is...

    Pic. of the last deer I shot

    Good job. A small one frying in a pan is better than a large one running around the woods.

    Where to hunt Feral Pig?

    Today, I read in the Pennsylvania Game and Fish magazine that the Game Commission said there is unlimited taking of feral swine in 64 counties in PA. Muzzleloaders are an approved weapon. Give them a call to see where the main problems are; if the pigs are really a problem, the Fish & Game...

    Flintlock Elk

    Really no age difference. One guy had his kid with him and I mentioned that the kid was learning all the wrong things about respecting other hunters which got the dad even more irate. He's the one that pulled his truck so close to mine, I couldn't get the door open. He finally pulled away...

    Elk Tags Arizona Unit 3B?

    Mike, Don't know anything about 3B. Seems like that area is for migrating elk, so I don't know if it will have a "resident" herd. Good luck.
