I had an epiphany while watching newbies getting ready to go out.hunting, they both had ultra modern in line ML. boasting about 1500fps. they are using saboted30to338 caliber projtiles. the weapons have the same range and lethality as modern hi powered rifle.
it seem that this of us who wish to shoot in the historical manner of our fathers,fathers and even the fathers should be reasonabley allowed the same consideration.
Most of us take great pride in making our own bullet and fitting them into a match trimmed car and precise loads of black power. we then spend hours at the range learning bulletplacement ( wind, humidity,uphill or down and heat shimmers).
The projectile are soft lead and quickly slow, if not stop inside the animal.
its also a proven fact that far more hunters are hurt from heart problems, or people with bows or shotguns'
BP cartridge hunters get one shot so we make sure its a good shot. its not like we are millions of wealthy out of stater buy up leases so they can party and tear up the land.
I enjoy fishing, hunting and foreaging for wild edibles, I am very patient and respectful
try writing you senater, congress....heck why not uncle JO
I Believe its time to let our diligent hunters to use any BP cartridge original used for the appropriate game with BP loads
