MacGunner,
If you have a Bass Pro Shop near you they carry BP. You just have to ask for it as it is kept in a safe off the floor.
AS to favorite Deer BP gun:
Richmond Short Rifle, over 470 grain minie ball, lubed with MCM, with 45-65 grains of FFFG Goex depending on the range on the stand. Never had to go more than 10 yards to collect the deer. Long shot about 150-60 yards, most under 100.
I also use a 44 Caliber Ballard CW Carbine. 29 grains FFFg Goex with a 240 grain Magnus RNFPBB bullet. Lubed with SPG. So far only shot at 2 deer. Both dropped on the spot. This one is a lot lighter and easier to carry as I get older. Both were about 100 yards.
I have used a Henry a few times, but so far have not seen one to take a shot yet.
