I just took my first deer with the huntsman. I used 100 grains of the real stuff { black powder } and a 300 gr. conical bullet. I shot it at 50 yds. and it was all over. QUICK !!! :twisted: i shot one immediate kill.

Congrats on your deer, the huntsman is a fine gun. I have never used BP out of mine. But I do have a CVA Bobcat sidelock that I shoot BP and a CVA deerslayer bullet out of.

We have an after Christmas flintlock season. I use black powder for it so I thought of using it in my huntsman. Works fine in both and I don't need to mess with different powers. :grin:
