Re: Experience with Hornady XTP bullets on game...?
I have killed 20-25 deer and hogs with .429 240 XTP out of a .50 cal sabot muzzleloader. They perform wonderfully. I have taken shots out to 150-175 and have had complete pass through on all the deer and most of the hogs. The few hogs I have recovered bullets from they have mushroomed as expected. U...

Re: How to remove rust chemically?
Phosphoric acid doesn't remove rust it convert it to a different stack pound. It doesn't take you back to raw metal like the molasses does. I use a lot of phos. I prefer Ospho if you are are going the phos route.

Re: Tricks for quiet loads?
I have used quiet loads for years. I prefer unique powder. 3-5 grains will get you plenty quiet. For light loads I like 10grs. Little to no recoil and deadly. I don't have my notes, but you get the gist.
