.40 flint SMR. Targets, small game and a couple of deer. I now use a .54 flint for big game. It's one I put together and keep trying to make look like an English Sporting Rifle. But the SMR is still the most used. Accurate, easy on lead and powder and easy on the eyes as well.

Beautiful MLs that have been posted so far.  But I just heard from Gunny and I think he's irritated just a bit.  I'm so glad I did post a photo; I started not to.  Whew!




YOU MAGGOTS BETTER POST PHOTOS OF YOUR MUZZLELOADERS WHEN YOU POST A REPLY OR I WILL SERIOUSLY %#&$ YOU UP!

I have to say that, after decades of front-stuffing, I have 2 favorites - a pair of .36 &  .45 T/C Seneca New England style caplock half-stock hunting rifles. :toast





They are quite applicable here, because my state mandates frontstuffer calibers for hunting game: Under .40cal for small game; Over .40cal for deer.

I am bequeathing them to my two youngest Grandsons (who are brothers).
