I went into this hunt with two goals in mind:
1. Shoot a big buck
OR...
2. Shoot a buck at 200 yards to try out the new muzzy.

In two days of hunting public land, I saw 29 bucks, and a couple of them were pigs! The big ones would come out across the canyon just before dark with no time to move in for a shot.

Friday morning, I sat up on a cliff overlooking a large bowl, surrounded by cliffs on three sides and happened to look directly below me to see five bucks feeding. I picked out the biggest one and watched him for about 20 minutes before I pulled the rangfinder out. I ranged him at 248 yards and that is when I decided to test the new gun out. I had shot consistent groups out to 200 yards, so I knew the shot would be makable......

I took this pic from where the buck died. The shot was taken from the top of the cliff.

To be continued......

(for some reason, my phone will not upload the rest of the pics)
 
I took this pic just before I shot him

Not the biggest buck, but by far the coolest shot I have ever made, especially with a muzzleloader!

Oh, in case anyone askes, I was shooting 100 grains of whitehot powder and a 250 grain power point. The bullet made a clean pass through.

This is the muzzy....

Pleasedear,

The ram rod was designed that way. It has clearance. That palm saver is the best part of reloading the muzzleloader lol! The gun also has a removable breech plug that requires no tools. You just pull on the trigger guard and the gun breaks in in two, then you unscrew the breech plug to clean.

I am a mechanic. So I value equipment that performs great and is easy to maintain. The gun and scope are amazing together!
