Since its legal in my state to use a scope, my T/C Omega rifle will be stoked with Knight's 180gr all copper sabots on top of 150gr. T7 powder. Its the samething as having a centerfire single shot rifle so why not use it?

Knight MK85 with an fixed 4x B&L Balfor, 3 Pyrodex pellets and 250 gr SSTs with a 209 primer. Quarry will be whitetail and probably will take part in the muledeer herd reduction hunts this year. The only change from the previous several years is the SSTs. I never really believed that a pointed bullet could make much difference in trajectory at muzzleloader velocities, was I every wrong!
Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.

TC Omega, 50 cal., with breech plug converted from 209 to small rifle primers. My load is a 300 gr. Dead Center Sabot over 110 gr. Triple 7. I have a Leupold VX-III 1.75-6 mounted on it. This combination provides MOA at 100 yds., and is deadly out to 150 or more. I have taken three deer with it in the past two years.

I've been thinking about converting my Omega to the small rifle primer system, in the off season. Are you using the .25 ACP case version? Does it help with the dreaded 'crud ring', as advertised?

No, mines a 22 hornet, and yes it makes a diference. The ring is much less. I still swab with a damp patch between shots though. I really think it aids in consistancy between shots, and provides maximum accuracy.

I just heard Remington has a new primer coming out that is best for pyrodex ignition and avoids the ring. I guess it's a 410 primer. I'll keep using smokeless.

RWL99,
That rifle is GORGEOUS!
How about some details (made by whom; when; barrel length, configuration, stock, etc.) and SOME MORE PICS!

The rifle was made for me in 1978 by Judson Brennan when he lived in Michigan. Jud moved to Alaska in 1985 and is still building custom guns but I can't afford his guns now. My rifle is a Pennsylvania style. The tiger maple stock is inlayed with silver wire, ivory and buffalo horn. It has a 42" swamped GR barrel, left hand siler lock that has been modified and engraved. The nose cap is moose bone and the tapered ram rod cap is buffalo horn. Here's a picture of me with the rifle shortly after I got it and a recent picture showing that the gun is still in service after 27 years.

Georgia opened a 1 week ML season 3 years ago and I have been successful each year using a 50 cal inline. This year though I am quite excited about a 50 cal Thompson center Hawken I bought from a pawn shop. I will be shooting 85 gr of triple 7 behind a 385 gr hornady great plains bullet. It was the first load I tried and it was dead accurate so all I had to do was adjust the sights to suite me. If I have time to work up another load I may hunt some with a .490 prb. I like the hawken a whole lot more than the inline I was shooting. Weagle

Another Savage ML10II user. 44 grains of IMR SR4759 and 250 Hdy SST w/ supp. sabot. Shoots one inch and less at 100 and only drops 4" at 200. It's been working great so, I'm not laying here down just yet.
I may drag out my CVA and some Pyrodex if I do some hunting in the woods just to bring alittle more sport back to it.
