Title: Muzzleloading for small game
Post by: Carp Commander on November 16, 2015, 08:00:12 PM: I have been an avid muzzleloader for several years but only for big game animals.

Does anyone manufacture muzzleloaders in smaller calibers, designed for smaller game animals, such as squirrel, coyote and rabbits?

Here's a chukar I got with a T/C New Englander 12ga. I also have a .32 T/C Cherokee and a .32 Traditions Crockett that are both fun to shoot. I've got T/C molds for both round ball and maxi-ball for them too. I've yet to hunt small game with them, but intend to go after rabbits or coyotes one day with them.

Post by: Carp Commander on November 17, 2015, 08:35:40 PM: Thanks for the info. For those who have/do own a .32 or .36 caliber do you think it is enough gun for coyotes out to 50, maybe 75 yards?

I read some other forums about the .32 not being enough gun for yotes.
