A few of the other threads with a key tech committee member have quoted amazing chip shots at 1100 yards plus for muzzleloaders. Plug and play and how easy it is to make a generic off the shelf muzzy as deadly or in 1 case superior to a rifle. 500 yards is easily obtainable and a video of a Gunwerks antelope at over 700 yards was copied and pasted. Speeds of over 3200 fps were also added.
Where is the truth ?
Scopes will likely be coming off as the tech committee is hell bent on selling these lies to the WB. Or is a muzzleloader different now. Or advanced at a much higher level than archery or centerfire rifles as your tech committee member is pushing ?
I will agree that muzzleloaders have advanced - but they still have to be loaded from the muzzle -with blackpowder or substitutes. I have been shooting black powder and have all of the latest tech that is possible. The best barrels that $$ can buy. The latest ignition sources. The best high BC bullets and the best actions and more. I have competed in many matches and have placed at the top often. But when it comes to the statements of 1100 yard chip shots -that I have read on the other threads - I’m calling BS period.
I’m a nobody in todays shooting world but have shot muzzies for over 30 years. I also spend lots of time at a local gun range helping muzzy shooters shoot better and witness the inconsistencies with the best that money can buy.
Can someone please step up with some facts (not social media claims from fakebook or YouTube) to dismiss this nonsense of a muzzleloader being the equal or superior of a rifle. Our board member that’s on the tech committee surely doesn’t have the correct info -JMO.
Fire away please ………
