Gander Outdoors Flyer - remington 700 ultimate muzzleloader

[rookhawk]

Helluva deal this week. $699

That’s below most dealer’s cost. I paid $30 more than that from the cheapest online dealer.

A friend was sighting in one of those on my range a couple days ago. He had it on point, out to 300 yards, using four pellets of pyrodex and an accutip(?) bullet. I inherited one of the original Remintons, from my fil and it shoots real well, too.

4 pellets?

4 pellets?

Yep. I think it is nonsense, but he was sighting it in for another guy and that is what the max load is. I personally won't ever use Pyrodex, as it is nearly as corrosive as black powder.

Most people throw away the oem breach plug and get one compatible with BH209. Rated for 160 volumetric grains!!!

 

[Dave N]

Dang! Guess I need to get out more! I'm still set on the old 150 grains max and "only" use 100 in mine.

For what it’s worth, 4 pellets and a 300gr bullet in a 50 cal is creating almost as much felt recoil as a 500 nitro express. It’s worse than that, you shoot a 500ne off sticks which isn’t that bad, you shoot a Muzzleloader from a bench or prone!

Youch!!!!

Jeez. I tried 3 white hot pellets for about 5 shots out of my cva and my shoulder was bruised and tender for almost 2 weeks. Worst part was it really didn't shoot much flatter than 2 pellets.

No thanks on the 4 pyrodex pellets. I'm too much of a wuss

If it can actually burn all 4 pellets before it leaves the barrel,

If it can actually burn all 4 pellets before it leaves the barrel,

Exactly! I think a lot of that is marketing hype, for the people that want to make mz into a center-fire rifle. I have serious doubts that four pellets will actually all be burned, before the end of the barrel. I will stay with my 80 grains of Alliant Black MZ and the 348-grain Powerbelt hollow point, keeping the distance reasonable. Bang! Flop!

That’s a great price. Which stock option is it?
