Your favorite hunting bullet?

[traditional man]

What are your favorite hunting bullets mini ball, maxi, REAL bullet, round ball. I know some rifles shoot better with different bullets.

 

[Trench]

I shoot flintlocks, and so stick with a patched ball. I am told one goes to muzzleloader hell if you shoot a conical out of a flintlock. :wink:

AA batteries with a blunderbuss to hunt evil spirits. :rotf: Sorry couldn't help it.

Patched round balls are all I ever use in any of my muzzleloading rifles.

 

[Bon Sauvage]

I use a patched ball unless I am shooting my 1861 Springfield. I use a mini with the Springfield.

Round Ball, those pointy ones will never catch on im sure its just a fad :idunno:

Traditional patched round balls out of my Flintlocks.

 

[vthunter52]

Patched roundballs in both the .50 rifles, and the 20 ga.

 

[Spikebuck]

For my guns that shoot a conical, the Hornady Great Plains Bullet. For those designed to shoot a round ball...well, a round ball! :idunno: Actually, I have a couple of slow-twist barrels with shallow square grooves that will shoot either of the above.

Patched Round Balls even in my Musket! Geo. T.

minnie',maxie,real buffalo and saboted have down range energy you just cant get from a rb... but,why are you shooting a ml. Caps are better then flint, but not much,iron sights and silver blades are a joke.Maple is heavy,walnut porus and bp stinks and rust every thing it touchs.To enjoy the full flavor of ml shoot a round ball.You can improve over rb in all the numbers except one...the joy that comes from shooting ,hunting plinking with the right ammo for the old primitive gun :hmm:

I have read some are using the lee 500 S&w molds in the .50 cal. I need to read up on the paper patched.

 

[Kentuckywindage]

concials for me. Cant say which one exactly since its not lead :haha:

 

[David Grout]

Round balls in all my black powder firearms.

 

[wattlebuster]

The old faithful round ball :hatsoff:

 

[nchawkeye]

Flintlocks and round balls, it just doesn't get any better...

 

[Rat Trapper]

I have hunted with all the projectiles offered for muzzle loaders and they all did the job. So go with what ever shoots best in ur gun.
