    Red Dots for Muzzleloaders

    I put an Aimpoint Comp M5 on my Woodman Arms G3 last year for Utah. Great sight. I would not put a cheap red dot (or scope) on a (heavy recoiling) muzzy.

    Blackhorn 209 issues.

    Black “tar?” No, never heard of such a thing with B$209.

    What would the pattern be like using a 50 cal rifle as a shotgun

    Terrible. Try it and let us know.

    There. Fixed it for you. Especially if we’re talking eastern guys that never practice past 75-100 and shoot most of their deer at 25-50 yards. I agree.

    I’d invite any of you guys that want to learn about muzzleloading to go over to a dedicated muzzy forum like MML…..

    “Many” is an exaggeration. Most western states are not very primitive in their muzzy regs. Give me a list of the states that only allow “Open sights, no scopes, black powder.” The regs are the regs - absolutely nothing wrong with using equipment that meets the regs. And for the record….I use...

    Here’s a chart for full-bore .50: 120 grV Bh209 with a 300 gr Thor (175 yard zero). Very standard load. Still quite useful to 250+. Retains 1300 ft/lbs of energy at 250 yards.

    High end - yes. Semi custom - no. Legal or not - no one should be using that bullet for elk or moose anywhere. That’s a deer bullet - and a legal set up in a bunch of western states. Way down the bell curve - probably.

    I’ve hunted with various muzzleloaders for almost 40 years. And almost exclusively with a muzzy for big game all over NA and Africa for 25 years or so. My personal (first shot) limit is usually 200-250 yards with open sights. Guys with better eyes and the right load/sights should have no problem...

    Agreed. But 250-300 is not a long shot. Many of us are shooting much further with muzzys using adjustable turrets and modern bullets. 300 yards is well within the ethical and practical limits of most rifles/shooters. Some of you guys clearly are not aware of what modern muzzys will do. I’m not...

    Good advice. You’ll find quite a bit of variation in the muzzy regs/requirements just among western states (ie .50 min for elk in CO).
