OK Muzzleloaders, What you using?

[Borch]

With the muzzleloader season just around the corner thought it would be neat to hear hunters choice of weapons.

I'm not going to make it out this year. But I usually use a traditions 209 loaded with 100 gr 777 and a 295 power belt. It's been a good load for me thus far and I usually use this set up during the rifle season as well.

It's nothing fancy but I do get just over 2" grouops at 100 yds when I top it with a scope during rifle season. It opens up a bit with the open sights.

What will you be carrying this weekend?

I'm going with my TC omega loaded with 150 grains 777 and 300 grain shockwave. I have had real great luck with the accuracy of the shockwave bullets out to 150 yards. Good luck to all who are going out. Hope we get some snow up northwest for this.

[lawdog]

130 grains of 777 pellets pushing a T/C 250 grain Shockwave through my T/C Omega.

Man what a nice setup that Omega is...

I started the cheap route with a lower grade CVA to keep the investment low if it wasn't for me. I thought I'd upgrade if I liked it. Well, I love it but haven't upgraded since this thing has been a killing machine with 100 grain pyrodex pellets, 225 grain power-belts in a .45 cal.

[Stratosman]

CVA Kodiak loaded with 100 grains Pyrodex powder and 245 grain powebelt hollowpoints. Shooting out to 150 yards no problem.

[Big Laker]

CVA Buckhorn with 100 grains of Pyrodex and 295 grain powerbelts.

Borch, I'll be sitting in your stand Saturday morning, I'll let you know how it goes...

[SUNNYD]

Thompson Center Encore Pro Hunter...it'll be the first year hunting with it so I will give a review after the season is done...

[Grizzly16]

CVA loaded with 100 grains of Pyrodex and 345 grain Powerbelts. This load has been dead on at 100 yds and has dropped every deer in its tracks.

I got 2 deer bowhunting this year so I'm opting out of muzzleloader season this year, but I carry a .54 cal. Thompson Center Renegade. I load 90 grs. FFG behind a patched round ball.
