For ML season, the T/C Encore .50 rifle, BH 209 70 gr. by weight (~100 gr. volume), MMP black sabot behind a .452 XTP of 250 gr. Proven combo.

For the general gun season it depends on where I am hunting. In Amelia County I can shoot anything I want, so I'll take the .44 mag this year. The load will be around 1000-1100 fps with a 240 gr XTP. Probably Alliant 2400. Dang, I REALLY need to develop that load! Time's a wastin'. Otherwise, I have some 1150 fps with what look like Speer soft points to use (BVA).

The other two counties, Chesterfield and Dinwiddie, are shotgun/ML only, so the Encore goes with me there.
