With a 50 cal....whatever gets hit ain't running far that's for sure. Easy tracking ha ha

I like the xtp with the harvester sabot combo idea. Probably try that combo for my first shots. Look to be pretty cheap too. No wonder they're trying so hard to push those powerbelts.

Thanks for the info btw. Needed a starting point. Complete noob to ML

[TMiddleton]

No problem and your right, it's just a starting point. The gun will tell you which bullet/powder combo it likes.

I would bet though, 90 grains T7 pellets with the bullet combo above would shoot well for you.

Awesome. Gotta grab the gear and a scope and try this combo out. Dang powerbelt things are pricey

Somerville WMA #711

Has anyone hunted WMA #711 this year?

My CVA didn't like the pewerbelts, I tried three different bullets ended up with Thomson Center xtp 240 hollow points. I also use triple seven pellets.

I get home this morning from work (glad that 7 day shift is over!) and shad are going crazy. White bass are schooling and cats are biting. I got to bed after working all night and wake up to heavy rain. Who wants to bet they won't be biting in the morning? Just my luck.

I haven't. Only hunt the Sam.

I have. Lots of hogs. There are deer there too. I may spend a little more time up there this year. I've got a friend that hunts it fairly regular.

Do you usually hunt hogs from the ground?

I have, but I'd certainly shoot one from a tree while hunting deer.

Got the new 3 rivers catalog in today. Sweet

I have several muzzle loaders, each uses a little different load to get where I want. Best advice I have to make sure you mark your ramrod empty and loaded, can save a lot of worry later.

I knew about marking it loaded. Didn't know about unloaded. Make sense though. I read, studied, drooled and talked about getting one for a couple of deer seasons now and finally took the plunge. Hee hee...punny.

Pretty excited to shoot something new but I have to admit a .50 cal and all the muzzleloading horror stories I've seen have me both excited and a little nervous.
