Muzzleloaders do not exactly produce sizzling velocities to begin with. Forcing hunters to use bullets of lower SD that penetrate even less hardly seems like the responsible thing to do from the so-called experts in the DOW.
The lighter PB bullets are absolute crap because of their low SDs and are known for poor penetration.
Maybe they should choose a different profession.......
Yeah, they should probably ban archery hunting too, especially traditional bows since they have a much more limited range than an open-sighted muzzleloader. It's just not responsible for them to allow that, seeing as how it forces the hunter to get up close and all.
It does crack me up to hear a self-appointed authority focus on BCs, SDs, and so forth when we're talking about a rifle that shoots a slow-moving big hunk of lead.
And who's talking about lighter powerbelts besides you?
