What Set-Up are you guys using?

[Billdogge]

Always interesting to see what set-ups guys are using. So what gun,powder,primer,bullet and optic are you using.

 

 

 

I'll go first.

 

Gun: CVA Wolf

Powder: 2 WhiteHot Pellets

Primer: Winchester

Bullet: Barnes Spitfire TE-Z 250 grain

Optic: Nikon Omega 3x9

 

 

 

 

On a side note I'm considering getting a new muzzleloader. Any suggestions? Looking hard at the Knight.

 

Thanks

I have only ever hunted with one muzzleloader, a TC Hawken .50 cal. that my ex-wife bought me for my birthday in 1973.

 

I  used it for years with the factory sights until my eyes got too old for them. I installed an aftermarket tang peep sight, which I still use today..

 

For years I shot PRBs with 90 grains of 2F blackpowder or pyrodex and a #11 cap.

 

A few years back, as a result of an elk hunt, I switched to a Noexcuses  460 grain conical  with 80 grains of 3F 777 and a CCI magnum #11 cap..  It works as well on deer as it did on elk and shoots plenty flat and accurate out to 100 yards, which is as far as I will shoot with it.. In fact I don't think I ever took a shot at game with it over 75 or 80 yards.

That is a LOT of powder for a gun only designed for black powder or black powder substitute.  Blackhorn only recommends 84 grains by weight as a max charge, just be careful...

Hey, good catch my powder bowl weighs 28gns and I don't use the Tare button so my actual load is 90 gn by weight.

Please do not try 118 gn by weight in your guns.
