what muzzleloader will you be using in early muzzleloader season?
I will be using my cva wolf .50cal inline with hornaday sst sabots, triple seven magnum pellets, and cci magnum primers.

note this is not a debate I just am interested on how many people are hunting during early muzzleloader and what they are using.

 

[frontier gander]

Not exactly sure when i will be hunting but it will be with my new cva optima, 250 or 300gr Thor and 90-100gr Blackhorn209.

 

[Callmaker60]

I'll be out, I use a cva optima 50 cal. and i use 245 power belt hollow points with 100 grains of 777.

 

[410-er]

Lyman 45 cal percussion with a .451 round ball,.015 pillow and 70grs of FFg.
Backup will be Lyman 50 cal percussion with a .490 Round ball,.020 pillow,and 80 grs of FFg.
If I could use my 11 ga double with round balls in the early season,I would.Law states I must wait till the rifle season.
(.715) 11ga on left. (.490) 50 cal on right.

 

[zimmerstutzen]

I don't kill doe. I'll be hunting small game with a 24 ga flintlock loaded with shot.

 

[great white hunter]

CVA wolf 50 cal with either pyrodex pellets or blackhorn 209, 295 hp powerbelts, and cci primers!

 

[Asajoe1]

If I don't buy another gun I will use the Deerstalker .54 with the Hornady Great Plains bullets again.

 

[quackmaster4]

I'll use my Omega. If I happen to fill a tag early in the week, then I might carry my PA Hunter Carbine later on.

 

[brewyak]

I will be using my .54 longrifle

 

[Bunky]

Elisabeth----my 54 cal LONGGUN!

 

[BerksCoflinter]

My .54 cal. lefty Yorktown built by Brad Emig, with an 85 grain charge behind a .535 round ball wrapped in a .015 patch using Ballistol for lube. This will be ignited using a French amber flint supplied by my friend Bunky.

 

[5chunter]

Encore pro hunter .50cal 250grain shockwave 100 grains of pyrodex and a 777 primer.

 

[Bunky]

Hi Berks=====I was thinking about you today. I was doing a relocation of my BP stuff since we have been moving my daughter to her new bigger bedroom---I found 1 French Amber flint in mybox that I tried----They will always make me think of my friend Berks when I see those beautiful flints. Sad thing is the gun shop stopped carrying them in Bel Air MD?????? Guess no one shoots flinters south of the PA line.

 

[Run2Catch]

Savage Smokeless

 

[mfwing82]

54 cal flintlock with a patched round ball

 

[audie]

Probably the L.Day Dutch smoothbore .62/20ga. Or the CenterMark fusil. Or the Bess! After the shot I can start using #5 shot and hunt squirrels the rest of the time!!

Smoothbores..whats not to like? Audie..the Oldfart..

 

[corey22]

T/C Triumph with pyrodex pellets and Powerbelt bullets.

 

[MuzzleMike]

I will be using my 50cal. flintlock .

 

[soupe]

I will carry my bow for fear that the one of a lifetime will trip over me. My .45 cal Winchester X-150 doesn't get past the range. That sucker rips though.

 

[frontier gander]

love those X-150's
