Most Prevalent Calibers?

[smoothshooter]

Greetings To All,

1- Can you all tell me the flintlock rifle caliber that's MOST prevalent,
among the folks who hunt white-tailed deer through black bear?
2- Can you all tell me, regarding the participants with flintlock rifles at
the big gatherings, [ such as Southeastern Primitive Rendezvous ] which
of the big calibers, [ .45 and up ] do you see the most?

I'm going to buy a flintlock rifle for the reasons above. I want to be
able to obtain the supplies to shoot it as easily as possible!

Whatever caliber you end up with, get a bullet mould or two and make your own.
Is very easy to do, and cheap too.
An electric lead pot is nice to have, but not necessary by any means.

This is fantastic advice.

If I was going for black bear, I'd want a 50 at least. That'd be good for both.
