Anyne shoot Blackpowder loads in an encore before?
A "loophole" in the SC hunting regs as it pertains to primative weapons allows the use with a peep.
I plan on going with a standard 24" BBl and pure lead 405 grain bullets.

No! We don't 'cater' to modern rifles here!

Don't be such a meaner.

A heavily compressed load of 83 Gr 3FG sounds about right.

"Visible from Space" springing immediately to mind.

Less than 26" Barrel length, and BP start to look like diminishing returns, here.

There IS a way to make this work, and kill deer all day long,....

BP is pretty good that way.

A few BARREL details / specs would help, Bud.

Greg,

How did he know all of your guns were lost in that tragic boat accident on the River last year? grin

The San Pedro was running wide, deep, and fast that day.

It probably couldn't contain the bull$hit you were pumping into it.
