For you guys that hunt Illinois, are you going to stay with your "trusty" muzzleloader or try a straight wall, single shot rifle cartridge (350 Legend, 444 marlin, 45-70, etc) for the upcoming season. Has me contemplating; however, I think I would put my .50 cal Traditions Vortek, Accura V2 or Knight Ultra Light up against any single shot straight wall rifle for 115 yards and less shots. Never have shot a deer farther than that on my farm in Western Illinois and .50 cal Harvester & Barnes 300g bullets seem to do the job.
