This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I believe the hollow points I use are about 325-350 grain and my two rifles are competition rifles so i can safely go to 135 grain of powder. Think shoulder fired cannon.... I'll measure a round ball and sabot tomorrow in oz.
    The hunting sabots are nasty. I hit a 5 inch maple last year at about 75 yrds. It blew the back off the tree. 1/2" in 2.5-3" exit:eek:.
    I use 60gr. of powder up to 150yrds plenty of power.

    Its a city stud so it should live quite a while. Can't be hunted where it is living. But, it will most likely be taken out by a car at some point.
    I actually saw that deer or one just like it over the summer walking next to an on-ramp to the local highway, right in the city of Buffalo (West Seneca is not far from there where this deer was seen).

    Holy cow. I think you may have talked me into looking into a muzzleloader for next season. When you bought the hawken did you buy a matched scope paired with the gun? A 50 cal would probably suite me well. If are able to push a 150-200 yards that’s more then enough for where I’m hunting. Is finding powder/slugs or sabots an issue at all?
    I like running sabots on a rifled barrel even though they are quite a bit more expensive then using a smooth barrel slug. I can push out more comfortably.

    That is awesome! He sure is body mount worthy. It’s always the city slickers that get huge tines and racks or have the color phase. They say a pure albino is basically been inbred 7x to get those genetics. So it makes sense. Those deer can’t be touched and don’t get pressure so they make a cool picture! Sure wish something like that would run across me out during the season here.

    Mike if it happens to be you that bumps him off the road and he still has horns on. Let me know id be tickled to be close to having the grand slam on the wall. Basically a typical, a piebald, white deer, albino, melanistic. I’ve done 3 of them so far. I won’t take the credit either:). Let’s hope he lives a good life he looks to be around 2-3 years old.

    Theres more pie’s and Leucitic deer out there than I thought. Here most of the ranches to the east coast breed them. Down south going to Texas they want nothing to do with them. For them it’s all about 300+ racks with crazy drop tines

    At 200yrds 275 grain velocity is about 1600fps with a 120gr charge.
    All supplies here are easy to get.
    Both of my Hawken were bought at auctions. Both came with loads of supplies also. Thankfully not many people were at the auctions. The flintlock was $150 the percussion cap was $120.
