Who Muzzleloads in NJ?

[Offshore Custom Tackle]

I'll be out this year hunting in Mullica Hill. Anyone else ML hunt in this area?

[Grassy Sound Buck Bagger]

PA guy, sorry. Doesn't NJ let you hunt bucks during your in-line season? I wish they would let PA do that.

GSBB

[Offshore Custom Tackle]

yeah, and its right before gun season.

There is no difference in season for Inlines and traditionals (unless they changed it this year)

ML hunting starts with 2 days a week before 6 day firearm.

You can also use your muzzleloader during 6 day firearm season, but it is buck only for most zones.

I havent renewed my rifle permit in a couple years, How do I go about renewing my permit? If I remember correctly, they send you a renewal form every two years or something like that:confused: I havent got one. Does the new rule book have the forms?

It doesn't let me, I am assuming because of the new electronic system, I have my fishing and hunting licenses for it, I just have never renewed my rifle permit after they did the switch, it show a little lock when I go to purchase it:confused:

Take your old Rifle Permit [and your Div of Fish & Wildlife ID#] to any license agent for renewal.

Couldn't be simpler.

Thanks, I thought before you had to send in a form that was mailed to you...its been a few years:cool:

You hunt private or public??? I live in and hunt the Tabernacle area...lots of deer, if you can get away from the million people who hunt 19

[njbowhunter]

I hunt muzzy in fort dix love that early week in november.

[bill thron]

i muzzleload in the newport area of cumberland county

[MEAT-WAGON]

ive heard those 2 early days are the killers befor shot gun maybe ill try it this year :shoot:

[Lucky Bucks]

I will be in the CC Woods also known as Glassboro state WMA Woods:wave:

[theirishjig]

I ML hunt in my area...sometimes in NY State

[onthehunt]

Some guys are real selective on the bucks they shoot in the early ML season. That late season muzzleloading can be deadly when the post rut starts and you don't want to tag out early on a juvenile when the big boys start chasing again:naughty:. But then again, two does for the freezer is just fine with me if Mr. Right doesn't stumble by:thup:

[swab1985]

What kinda bullets and what grain of powder do you guys use, If I remember correctly I was shootin' 250g sabots and 120 of powder...I havent muzzleloaded in years and might give it a try again this year... I shoot a original knight disc. What combos will most likely work best

[onthehunt]

240gr with 100gr of pellets.

[swab1985]

240gr with 100gr of pellets.

What brands or style do you like?

[bobmetzg]

245 gr powerbelt hollowpoint
100gr pyrodex pellets/ 209 cap
t/c omega thumbhole 3-9x nikon scope

[onthehunt]

I shoot TC Mag Sabots. The bullet is all lead no copper jacket. I wasn't getting good expansion with the copper bullets. Lead flattens out real nice on impact causing more damage. As for pellets, Pyrodex. All the guys that I hunt with that shoot the Rem 700 shoot this same combo and it seems to work for us.

[swab1985]

What are your thoughts on 160g bullets? Are they too light to knock down deer? Are they better for long range shots, dont drop as much? I'm not a real big ballistics guy

[onthehunt]

Yeah I'm not either, but BarnesX is! Let him give you the run down. In my experience with ML's, you have to play with powder weight and bullet weight to see what works best. I can throw 150gr of powder in my gun but it doesn't group well. This was the combo I came up with through trial and era. Best thing to do is find a guy that shoots the same gun and ask what works best. And by the way, 160's aren't too small to knock'em down

[swab1985]

Thanks, I figured a 160 would kill a deer, just wonder why I never hear of anyone using lighter loads, I guess it depends on what your gun shoots best

[BuckHammer43]

swab1985

M/L bullet weight is a function of bore size. The bigger the bore, the bigger the bullet that is required to fill it. If you wanted to use real light bullets, down-size the hole in the barrel. Simple physics.

I had used the 185 loads in my 45 Cal. Contender with some success. They were actually .40 Cal. Pistol bullets with a sabot. Unlike progressive powders, black or black substitutes are limited by the speed of the slug [1,750 to 2,200 f.p.s.] If you wanted more killing power, you used a bigger bore with a correspondingly heavier bullet. Bigger/heavier bullets at the same speed equals more kinetic energy [killing power]. The African elephant hunters used 4-bore guns. [4-ounce balls at 1,700 f.p.s. – kills at both ends].

Jersey requires a bore of at least 44 Cal. Most of us shoot 50 Cals. If you had a bore-sized bullet that weighed 160 gr in a 50 Cal, it would be way short and fly like a brick, not the best combo – thus the heavier bullets we all use.

Is that any help?

110 grs. of Pyrodex behind a 430 gr. T/C Maxi-ball in my .54 Renegade.

Hey swab they won't let you buy a muzzleloader permit on line without renewing your rifle permit. Both can be done online...Just a heads up.
