After watching those big old mature bucks show back up after our general season has closed...I decided to take advantage of our 2 week late muzzle loader season.
I generally only hunt with handguns, mainly revolvers. So I decided to try my hand with the Optima, ordered it and am expecting delivery today.
I've done some research, and have a few different types pellets to try...white hots, 777, ect.. couple different primers...winchester, cci, fed 209s...I have a bunch of different .429, and .452 handgun bullets both cast and jacketed. Have several styles/sizes of sabots on order.
I plan on installing either a ultra dot, or a millet red dot sight, as those are what I have on several other guns.
I've read about the 209/blackthorn breech plug, but have not ordered it. Thinking maybe I should...???
What else?? What have I not thought of??
Your experience, advice, comments, thoughts ??
Thanks in advance!
