Need load info

[OnHoPr]

Since my eyes are getting bad and my shootin deteriorating, I thought about using something like this for next season's muzzle loader doe season. How many shots can I get out of a five gallon bucket of WWs. Ya got any load info? I might read the sticky on BP makin.

Are you going to use a ball or a conical? That way we might be able to guess how many shot you can get. Myself, I would use the conical. That way if the deer is standing behind a few trees, the conical will shoot threw the trees and still get the deer. I would use at least a 20lb one. 1lb of black should do it.

Actually, I would save the lead. Just use a big wad of something. With a blast like that your likely to give the deer a heart attack and it would be a lot less messy cleaning it.

I like that. :bigsmyl2: I can see in a couple of years I'm gonna need something like that to hit a deer to fill the freezer. Do they make that in a double barrel? :smile:
