    New to muzzleloading

    There will be some B$209 out shortly. Who knows exactly when. The 2026 batch hasn’t been released yet. Yes, a lower-powered 209 will reduce the 777 crud ring. Yes, with 777 you should swab between shots. I don’t think either of those bullet choices are ideal for elk. The 340 gr ELDX aren’t...

    Or the patent expires in 2027…….

    They appear to be essentially going out of business (again) - so no customer service isn’t surprising.

    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.

    “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.
