T/C BlackDiamond, .50 cal. I like it but wish the stock was a little softer. Got started at Fire Mnt. Boy Scout camp as a kid with .50 & .54 Hawkin.

Traditions evolution - stainless with a camo stock. 50 cal. Gun shoots best with sabots, but I've used powerbelts with okay groups. 100 grains of pyrodex. Fun gun to shoot!

I have a TC Renegade in .54 cal that I have had over 20 years.
Last year I broke down and got an inline because I thought the price was right. It is an Austin & Halleck 50 cal.

Finally a little Austin & Halleck love. I also shoot a 50 Cal inline,Now if I could only figure out where to get me some front fiber optic replacements they seem to be an odd size.

I started out with a Cabelas 54 cal Hawken ,then had a 54 cal CVA,saw a Austin & Halleck had to have one,my family bought it for me about 10-11 yrs ago for xmas bought another when they went out of Business its a great shooter ,gave my 54 cal Hawken to my son-in-law.The knight bighorn wnt on sale for 199.99 on father's day
SOOOO I bought it shot it, retired my Austin & Halleck,I'll be hunting with my Knight
this yr. I did take my Austin out yesterday with a buddy and shot the Hornady SST
300 gr.
I never even changed my sights I was shooting a 348 gr. power belt for yrs and wanted to see were the 300 gr. Hornady would shoot fired two shots dead center at 25 yds abd about two in. high put her away.
I've been muzzleloader hunting for a little over twenty yrs,use to archery hunt but hurt my shoulder and couldn't draw my bow anymore didn't want to go back to rifle
hunting so went to muzzleloader and i'll never change now love it look forward to it every year. don't have the crazys like in rifle hunting nor the crowd BUT its getting more crowded every yr at least seems that way.
Sorry about the long letter got carried away. ONLY 9 MORE DAYS !!!!!

I have a T/C Black Diamond in .50. Hunting with black powder exclusively the last few years, been successful on deer about every other year. I find the late season best for the type of hunting I do. I missed a doe on the last day of the season last year so I recently switched to a peep sight and so far I am very happy with the range results. Can not wait to put that peep on a deer in about 8 days.
Hoping to locate some elk this year, have not been very successful with them ever, but I haven't hunted them hard so thats on me.
Best of luck to all this season....
