Hello all!! Despite my name, I also enjoy shooting and hunting with a muzzleloader and pretty much anything else that goes boom or flings a projectile. I use the name almost everywhere and it just seems easier to remain consistent.
I started out with a CVA Eclipse many years ago and am now using a Traditions Buckstalker loaded up with Pyrodex pellets and topped with a 250gr Barnes Expander MZ. I've been pretty happy with that combination at least on the range. The jury is still out on how it performs on game, I just switched over after last season. I had been using Hornady SST's but after taking a few deer with them I really did not like the expansion, or lack thereof, I was getting.
I've been eyeing the Knight Mountaineer and think that may be my next upgrade at some point. I've also been looking at getting a kit and putting together my own old school rifle.
I stumbled upon this site while looking for some info and decided to register to expand my knowledge and hopefully contribute as well. Thanks for having me!!
