I am an avid muzzleloader hunter, and as such have used pretty much most forms of muzzleloading rifle to take game, minus the matchlocks. I hunt Iowa, as it is the great state in which I was born and raised. Now I am going on 17 years of muzzleloader hunting for deer and have decided what better way to relive the experience after the season has closed than to talk about it to the masses.
First order of business: Choice of firearm
Second order of business: Protect said firearm by joining groups like NRA
My choices have included everything from a Dixie Gunworks Cub rifle in .45cal (hey I was ten) to my newest purchase a TC Encore Endeavor. There has been knights, Lymans, CVA's, Perdersoli's and others a many in there also. I do not want to specify that I like modern over traditional or vice versa as that is not what this is about, I just want to talk about what I have been finding as I embark on my shooting adventures and hunting experience.
As for right now I am trying to get that Endeavor to shoot, and have been having a rough go of it, it does not like "soft sabots" and does not like the new Hornady FPB in 300grain. It does like Barnes TMZ EZ's and to an acceptable extent Hornady SST-ML(red sabots). Pictures of targets will be posted with each load to show the experience as I go.
