I have the Optics Pack and while overall it has been good the front buckles do not grip the belt very well at all and it loosens up after just 100 yards or so and then all the pack weight is on the shoulders. I find myself constantly readjusting the belt all day long. I ordered a pair of these to put on which will hopefully solve that issue. https://www.buckleguy.com/4127-2-sliplock-tri-glide-buckle-plastic-slider/

Well that should fill the cylinder up quite a bit, how many grains are you using and what do the reloading manuals recommend? I haven't owned a BP firearm but I have read that sometimes people would use a filler in cartridges if they were using a very fast powder like Unique of say 5 grains in a case that had a capacity of say 20 grains to keep the powder close to the primer to avoid pressure spikes.

$800 to $1250.

"seat and crimp in separate steps" Yup

That's a beauty.

I'm going in 12 days with a buddy and we may bring both back, god willing.

At Walmart Today.

I think Bass Pro has a full mount Coues, I may go over and measure it. The one time I did have a tape in my pack I measured the Coues I shot, that's where I came up with the 36".

Post a few pictures.

So, cap and ball? Are you using FFFF?

What are you having trouble with, the crimping?

I'm surprised you don't reload.

You can also go straight to G&F and not pay the fees. Sportsmans Warehouse only charges $2.

Get up high enough to glass for them. If you are not seeing any tracks, move.

Welcome to CWT. Buy and read this, the Coues Deer Bible. Then get in touch with Tony and book a day of glassing with him. It will save you years trial and error knowledge. Chris https://www.amazon.com/Hunt-Coues-Deer-Duwane-Adams/dp/B000MLYYAE

Or chicken feathers.

Coues are 36" to the top of the back. If you shoot a traditional bow long enough you will know what the flight path of the arrow is and be able to comfortably compensate for it and not look at the arrow in flight. Deer don't intentionally duck the arrow. Most only get shot at once in their short lives it is a natural reaction to the sound as they crouch to get more spring to launch themselves away from what they perceive as a possible threat.

I just bought a Manfretto 290 Carbon and a Pro Master SPCH 20 Fluid head but it was a bit over your budget. The 290 kit with a fluid panhead can be had for under $200
