Yes sir, of course.
Muzzleloaders have been shooting over 1,000yds for over 150yrs. Example: Creedmoor.
They are shooting to 1,000yds twice a year at Camp Atterbury, IN. Percussion, BPCR and modern inline rifles.
Custom 45cal. 700 S/A and Rock Creek barrel with an LR Customs brake.
We shoot using BH209 twice a year at Camp Atterbury, IN. Summer is 5 relays. 800yds, 900yds and 3 relays at 1,000yds.
Fall shoot is 5 relays, all at 1,000yds.
This rifle is smokeless capable also...... Sends a 350gr XLD...
With BH, you must use the magnum 209 primers. Some get away with Win209's and Cheddite primers, but Western and now Hodgdon have always recommended magnum primers. CCI209M or Federal 209A.
You .... MUST .... clean the flash channel of carbon. If you don't HF, DF, and poor accuracy will occur...
Yes, SML capable. However, those rounds were using BH209.
Smokeless is not allowed in registered competitions. We are limited to 120grs VOLUME of BH209. NO MUZZLE BRAKES.
My rifle isn't granddad's muzzleloader.
I had to move my scope forward in the rail to shoot prone. Of course I had to zero it prior to one of the matches. My first two rounds are the top left. I adjusted and fired again, the single hole.
The right hand bottom diamond is 5 rounds.
The left hand bottom diamond is also 5 rounds.
All...
