Even having an opportunity to miss with a flint lock is a total peace! I hope he gets one more because that would make his life, however the time spent having the single try with you is even more priceless.

With that said, I would think, being a newbee here, that 70 grains loose, or single magnum load 60 grain pellet, with a light .430 - 240 grain Hornady hollow point XTP and harvester sabot should set that deer down with little recoil, yet deadly composition.


All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
