    .45cal vs .50cal questions for 1st muzzy

    thanks everyone, i think it makes sense to just go with .50 as best all around 1-do-it-all rifle. and if i really enjoy Muzzleloader hunting, i can always look at .40cal as my 2nd option, to be my smaller large game/flatter/longer shooting stick. :) **just another rabbithole to dig down. in...

    Blackhorn 209 in stock

    great, thank you. so if i see some in stock i'll probably just grab 3 cans or something is Pyrodex or 777 alternatives worth exploring or is BH209 that much better? seems like other brands/options are plentiful in most stores

    Blackhorn 209 in stock

    just out of curiosity, as i'm gearing up for my 1st muzzy purchase. an 8oz or 10oz can, roughly how many loads / shots is that in a .50 or .45 cal muzzly? so when i buy my 1st new muzzy and maybe 3 or 4 different bullets to try out to see what will work best, i'm sure i'll want to spend some...

    .45cal vs .50cal questions for 1st muzzy

    thanks everyone for your input. i do appreciate it. i am very much in the "overthinking" it stage, but as this is my first muzzleloader i think it's expected. reason for this .45 vs .50 question was to figure out if .45 may be a better/more accurate /longer reaching/less recoil'/etc opt. as...

    .45cal vs .50cal questions for 1st muzzy

    i saw that as well, and since buying new i am looking at more modern 1-22 twist .45cal option after my reasoning that CO Elk is the only animal i'd need .50cal for and if i wont hunt it for at least next 2 or 3 years, but i would like to hunt deer/pronghorn before that, will a .45cal be a...

    .45cal vs .50cal questions for 1st muzzy

    i hear that but if i dont plan on using sabot's and stick with solid copper ELR style conical bullets, can i get more accurate / longer range/flatter shooting rifle in a .45?

    .45cal vs .50cal questions for 1st muzzy

    so last week i asked about .50cal 1st muzzy choices, and got some good responses. ultimately i was going to pick up CVA Accura LR-X (open sights to be legal in home state of CO). was i WRONG to look at .50cal as my 1st choice for 1st muzzy? can you guys tell me if there is a big difference...

    for CO needs to be .50cal for ELk,

    another: Picking my 1st Muzzleloader.

    thanks again for the follow up. i'm not so much worried about few extra FPS's, but i want the gun to be as accurate as possible. this is where i figured 30" LR-x vs 26" MR-X may come out on top.

    another: Picking my 1st Muzzleloader.

    thanks, my logic was somewhere along this as well. having never hunted with Muzzloader i really "dont know what i dont know" but knowing my personal style of hunting, i like to cover ground, set up in good glassing areas that will require more than just a 50 yard shot. knowing myself i...

    another: Picking my 1st Muzzleloader.

    thanks again for your input,. $1K would be little too much than i want to spend. i am really interested in your last note, 30" barrel being too long, would you suggest Accura MR-X vs LR-X ? only difference is 26" vs 30". my thinking is that even at closer distances 30" will be more...

    thanks guys, appreciate all the feedback over the weekend. i am leaning towards CVA Accura LR-X but based on that last comment i will also take a closer look at MR-X

    another: Picking my 1st Muzzleloader.

    also CVA Accura has 1:28 twist, would i be better off with Vortek Strikeforce which has 1:24 twist

    another: Picking my 1st Muzzleloader.

    thanks for reply, i did look at CO regs and as my home state this is absolutely the reason i want to ensure i'm legal for CO Elk. all other species will then be extra and should also be legal i was looking at CVA (again i really like Accural LR-X .5o for some reason) and hoping to then match...

    hey guys, just another one of those threads *(and yes i did search and read through ton of other threads). but thought i'd ask your opinion. looking to get a Muzzleloader this year to practice and then plan a hunt with it in 2023. it seems that there are 3 main brands that keep coming up: CVA...

    Lot # Factory Ammo Accuracy?

    in 3 years i've been shooting my .270 i found that Hornady ELD-X groups best for me. 1st year i ended buying few boxes here and there, and with access to chronometer i did chrono them. while i do see FPS changes between logs are greater vs spread you get in same lot, so i only adjust my...
