It looks like I will end up with another ML deer tag this Fall. I mostly end up with an antlerless yearling (2 does, one "chick with a ****" in the last 3 years). My shots have been 50 to 70 yards. Could be longer, but I mostly try to get within 75 yards and prefer to be closer. I have taken two with a 54 RB and one with a 58 RB. The 58 was a bit much for the small yearling. Bigger deer are around, I just seem to end up with the yearlings.
I have to use a conical in 45 and any round ball 50 cal or up to be legal. I have a 45 I can try dialing in a maxi ball with, or I could do 50, 54 or 58 round ball. The 50 barrel shoots best with 70 grains, and I haven't tried to see if there is an accuracy node at higher charges. I could fool with the bigger conicals, but that seems like overkill. Any suggestions? Any reason to pick one over the others? All are sidelock percussion.
