White Mountain carbine killed again
« on: December 22, 2009, 02:52:49 PM »
I shot my eight deer with my White Mountain Carbine the other day. Big doe. Shooting 70 grains of pyrodex RS with a 240 grain Hornaday sabot, open sights. My carbine has a QLA barrel, I bought it just before they quit making them, anyone have any info on hthis gun?

Don' have any info in particular on them, but I know they were around fer quite a while. A lady used to shoot one in our local Mloading matches ten or more years ago. Did pretty good with it using PRBs and light charges of 2F. I recall she used it fer deer huntin too, with big conicals. Seemed like a good gun to me at the time.

BTW, be careful about using the "S" word in this forum. ;)

It's a great little fast twist carbine.
I've shot round ball out to 50 yards, with good results, but they were designed to shoot bullets.
I have shot about every weight bullet they make in the WM and it loves them. I use real black powder and about 80 grns of 2f is the norm for most projectiles in mine. I use a lot of 3f goex and use about 10% less than the 2f. More bang for the buck. ;D
