Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders The smokeless rabbit hole

I started out with an old Thompson 50 cal black powder gun back in the early 70's. my next one was a Knight in line. Then around 2005 I bought a Savage ML II smokeless powder gun. It shot good and I killed my share of deer and pigs with it. The last 2 seasons I hunted with a TC Pro Hunter. I bought a 45-70 barrel from Match Grade Machine and sent it to Jeff Hankins to do one of his conversions. I shoot 60grs imr 4198 with a 275 gr Parker bullet and large magnum rifle primer. It doesn't get much easier. No sabots to mess with and it shoots clover leaves at 100 yds. The TC break action is light, accurate and a great woods gun. I have only killed deer out to 120yds with it but would capable to 300.
