deer hunting with muzzleloaders

.535 lead round ball, a patch, and 85 grains of FFG. Have experimented with Old E 3F some and may switch to that when my 2F runs out. I don’t shoot far and the accuracy is good to my maximum of about 75 paces. No sense using sabots and optics when you’re starting the fire with a piece of rock!!
 
I just bought a box of Hornady great Plains 385 gr hollow points to try in my open sighted gun

As always the platinum power belts shoot great
Once the bank figures their crap out and my cards work again ill order some pr bullets. Turns out more than just the name changed for pc
 
I use 265gr Hornady FTX with TC green sabots and 100gr of 777 2f powder. I use the 25 ACP ignition plug from PR to decrease the crud ring . My wife and I each took a deer yesterday with this combination and the combination worked well at 70 yards and 160 yards.
