Muzzleloaders

Post by toytruck »

I have been shooting muzzleloaders since 1993 when I killed my first buck with a TC Renegade in .54 cal. I have since owned several Thompson Centers and now have more White muzzys than TC's. I average two deer a year with them and have taken several squirrels and one turkey with the shotgun. My centerfire rifles and shotguns don't get the same attention anymore... :roll:

I know what you mean. I don't think that I ever shot at a deer over 125 yds and the MZ can handle that just fine.
Nevertheless, I love my Savage 110 and the shotgun is a must when hunting with dogs.

Was watching a show yesterday and a fellow had an ad for "white powder"..... It was in pellet form, much like the 777 pellets ,only white. What's the scope. I shoot 777 pellet form in my TC Encore and like the stuff, but always willing to switch up if it's worth it :clap: On ,in reading ya'lls post, my TC is also my weapon of choice in the deer woods, smokepole that it, I do have a 270 cal barrel I can put on...but mostly stay with the muzzleloader, it's hard to beat!

The "white stuff" is IMR's answer to Hodgon's 777. I haven't seen it on shelves yet.

Franklin Outdoors (in Rocky Mount) has some on the shelves the other week. I shoot a .45 Encore so I didn't think much of it.

So, does that mean you tried it and did not like it or they only had it in 50 pellets :thumbsup: :thumbsdown: Just wondering how it preforms as compared to the 777 pellets.

Bass Pro generally has it, too. I tried it & didn't see much difference. It actually seemed to be harder to clean out, like it burned into the metal or something.
