    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.

    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).

    Any decent inline on the market today will do that with the right load. Good peep sights and a very fine front sight are a necessity.
