Muzzleloader for deer: .45-cal CVA Paramount
I am still stuck with the Pointy Power Belt and Blackhorn 209 good to 200 yards or more.
The grooves and twist of the Paramount are very like the original rifles of Sir Joseph Whitworth.
A soft lead/tin, 480-gr, paper-patched to bore diameter might be made to obturate into the .450" bore/.462" groove rifling of 1:22" twist
Would Blackhorn 209 do it or will I have to use real BP ?
Celebrating the origins of the .458 WinMag in this way is on the bucket list.

Turning a .458 WinMag CF rifle into a muzzleloader (hang a ramrod under the barrel): Gemmer WinMag ?
Nah, kaboom.
