This is what I get for thinking too much.
I got no venison in gun season.
Still have muzzle season comming up.
Got to thinking since I load slugs, why could I not load 12 gauge slugs in my Thompson Center 12 gauge m.l.?
Why not a roundball?
I got some.
A 525 Lyamn slug over 100 grains of 2fg orta kill sum'pin.
Pro'ly the shooter.:(

Seems to me you are worrying about the wrong problem. ;)

Might behoove you to look for fresh deer tracks instead of worrying about yet another exotic slug? :dunno:

Check to see if a smooth bore muzzleloader is legal for the season. If so, I see no reason not to use a 12 bore if it shoots well at the range you want to use it for.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. That was horrible.:down:





Matter o' fact I was in the woods right beside the house and there are deer tracks everywhere.
I think I'll just shoot from the bedroom window.:D

Hey! Keep warm and toasty! No sense in freezing yer buns off if youze doan gotta! :D

Smoothbore muzzleloaders are legal in Ohio. Its still a primitive rifle weapon. Shooting a slug from a 12 gau should be legal since its pretty much like a maxiball ;)

Maxi..

On the other hand, shooting a deer from your bedroom brings the perfect opportunity to do a double test. You can test your super slug for overpenetration in a house, and killability on a deer with the same shot!. :lol:

Well I'd open the window first.:)

MAXIBALL: Nice name for a boolit, what?:D

I caught that the first time I read one of your posts. :)

I always found shooting patched round balls were easiest to load and shot the most consistently but there isn't as much lead as with a maxi or plains bullet so I can see the need for more lead for knockdown oomppf.

Yeah !! Trademark it !:D

In Texas as long as you load it from the muzzle it doesn't seem to matter whether it is smooth bore or rifled. Can't use one of the new fangled "in-line" shooters during muzzle loading season.

Don't know about the legalities up in blizzard country.
