Just got back from northern Quebec last week and harvested 2 caribou. I was using 295gr powerbelt aero tip bullets and 2 50gr pellets of 777. I only took one caribou with the Huntsman and the shot was approx. 50 yards behind the shoulder. It was complete pass thru and the caribou only traveled maybe 40 yards before falling over. This muzzleloader is my favorite of the 7 I own, very accurate and reliable. The other caribou I got, I borrowed a 30-06 from a friend in camp due to rain and it was the last day of the hunt. It was a great one time hunt and I'm ready to get after whitetails later on this year.......
