We can also use a ML during our centerfire firearms season as a lesser weapon. It's been a few years since I've taken it out, but use a .50 Missouri Ranger, patched round ball and 90gr ffg.

Our deer season opens with a "primitive weapons" season which, of course, is meant to mean muzzleloaders and such BUT there is a loophole that allows you to use a centerfire rifle IF it's a : single shot, breech loading, metallic cartridge rifles (.35 caliber or larger) and replicas, reproductions, or reintroductions of those type rifles with an exposed hammer High Walls, Rolling Blocks, and Sharps legal then. Those thing were state of the art back then and haven't lost much since.

But sounds like the boys cva single shot 350 legend would be legal. If so I would pick them out of what we have for that season. But I subspect the scope and suppressors would not be legal.

With one exception we dont have any commercial. 53's So by default the .54 round ball is as close as you can come to the real life tradional calibers. If you wanted to know that.

My one black powder rifle is Low end composite stock 54 cal Hawkens. Far less primitive than my grandfather's Winchester. Other than it being 54 cal and cap lock. I have shot deer with the Winchester only paper with black powder. Mac "Never Forget Which Way Is Up"
