I got pulled for a specialty hunt where we chase Sambar deer and have to use bow or muzzleloader. I'll be using a .50 CVA Wolf muzzleloader.
My buddy & I have been debating the following:
Heavy & slow 400 gr+ and mid-weight 250-300 gr & fast.
We both have magnum muzzleloaders and scopes. Shots will likely be less than 75 yards. But there is the chance for longer range shots...
I want something that will punch thru the shoulder of the big deer but also be shootable out to 125 yards for my regular deer hunting as well. I don't have time to work up two loads.
Anyone got any suggestions?
