Are Any of The New Blk Powder Rifles 200 Yard Guns??

[Davexx1]

We have heard all of the hype from the various manufacturers but I have to wonder if any of these new black powder rifles are truly effective 200 yard hunting rifles.

I shoot an old 50 cal TC Renegade with scope and it will group about 4-5 inches at 100 yards off a bench rest. Longest kill was 130 yards using a Hornady 240 sabot with 100 grains of Goex black powder.

If you have a TC Encore or similar "long range" BP rifle, what is your experience?

If you truly want a long range muzzle loader...go to....www.ultimatefirearms.com. If that wont do for long range BP hunting...nothin will.

"4" Pyrodex pellets

That would hurt you when you pull the trigger!

I'm not in to pain. :speechles

A lot of the new ones shoot under a 3" group at 200 with 3 50gr pellets they will kick like a mule but when you are hunting you dont notice the kick much let a friend sight it in for you and he can take the abuse from the magnum charge.

Savage ML-10-II

The Savage ML-10-II series muzzle-loader has the capability to use "Smokeless Powder" or Black-Powder/Substitutes. It also comes with the Accu-Trigger and is FULLY CAPABLE of 200 yard shots with the right bullets/sabots.

I will post a link here later to a web site that gives all the details and info on this capability and accuracy loads.
