It seems that we are definitely a diverse group with our choice of rifles. I am wondering what everybody is throwing downrange.

Myself, I use the the PR Bullet 360 gr Extreme Elite

Whats everybody else using?

[Huntsman]

Well type of ml was'nt specified,I use a .495 ball & patch in my sidelock(s) too and save the sabots for my Encore.

 

[Skip]

.480, .440, 490, .495 ball, .5 minie, .5 R.E.A.L., .58 minie, .451-7 bullet, and a pile of cloth patches and the occasional felt wad... I cast the minies and the REAL. Balls are too cheap to be bothered casting.

Patched .490 round ball seems to take any four legged game, and great/cheap for targets too.
