I've been hauling this beautiful, hand crafted rifle around the woods for about 25 years now. Took my first deer with it at 14 yo. Well, I found a small crack in the for end the other day that I'll need to get fixed up. so, I've decided to retire it from hunting duties to try and preserve it some.
I bought, but do not haven hand, a Traitions Buckhunter Stanless BP rifle tonight. It is not a "Pro" model.
Questions:
- do most in-lines do best with patched round ball, conicals or sabots? Hunting whitetail at 150 yd max range.
- Pyrodex or BP in these? I've never shot Pyrodex.
- how the heck can they call it a "primitive weapon"?! I feel dirty going with an in-line...any suggestions?
Off to retirement...
