I use a .50 Caliber Knight Master Hunter with Thumbhole Stock. This is a sweet shooting Muzzleloader with 200 Yard accuracy! What does everyone else use?

I've had excellent results in my TC's using Goex 3F, or Pyrodex RS (loose)...using any of the charges listed in TC's blackpowder manual...FWIW, I settled on the following:
TARGETS 50grns Goex 3F or 60grns Pyrodex RS (loose) .018" TC prelubed pillow ticking patches Hornady (or Speer) .490 balls
HUNTING 90grns Goex 3F or 110 Pyrodex RS (loose) Oxyoke prelubed Wonderwad .018" TC prelubed pillow ticking patches Hornady (or Speer) .490 balls
Enjoy!

I bought a Traditions Evolution .50 Cal last late Fall or early Winter(dont remember). I havent fired it yet but Im itching too. Ive never owned a ML before so Im sure I'll have all kinds of questions when I get to using it.

I have quite a selection of muzzle loaders that I currently use: I shoot skeet and sporting clays with a Browning 12 gauge O/U Model 1000. Nice handling shooter. I have 2 of them. For trap, Sandhill crane, goose and duck hunting a Pedersoli 10 gauge SxS or the Pedersoli 12 gauge SxS. I duck hunt with a custom 12 gauge English fowler. I hunt turkey, ducks and shoot skeet with a 16 gauge Northwest Trade gun. (I've also shot geese with this flinter.) Squirrel hunting calls for the .32 cal TC Cheerokee. Deer hunting either a .50 cal Lyman GPR or a Pedersoli .54 cal New Englander. And just for fun a .45 cal Revlover. My favorite all-around selection for the field is the 16 gauge trade gun. It shoots either round ball (patched .648) or shot, excluding steel shot I use bismuth. I usually burn about 25 - 30 pounds of black powder a year. Mostly for practice and competition clays. Sincerely Smokepole

Got a TC Penn hunter flintlock .50 cal patch and ball. 90 Grain of FFF in the barrel and FFFF in the pan. Used it many a year till I spent a week in the woods just prior to transfering to Hawaii. It rained the entire week. Got a two hour break the last Friday morning but that flintlock was pretty worthless the rest of the time. Went out and got the ole TC 209X50. I no longer have that problem. Still like that ole flintlock though.
