I have taken deer with a variety of methods over the last 35 years, including compound bow, crossbow, muzzleloader rifle, centerfire handgun, and centerfire rifle. Decided to up my muzzleloader game this year and bought a CVA pistol. Sighted in for 100 yards, and uses two 50 grain Pyrodex pellets under a 250 grain Hornady MonoFlex ML bullet. Burris 2-7x32 scope tops it off (my old eyes are not open sight friendly any longer). Shot this big doe at 40 yards yesterday during the Oklahoma muzzleloader season. Found the bullet under the skin on the opposite side. It is the first of thes bullets I have recovered. All others were complete pass through.
