Traditional youth muzzleloader? - 10/29/08
I'm not huge into ML rifles. I'm on in line #3 - a Remington that I seem to like, but haven't yet shot game with one. In the past I've had limited chances as the area I have hunted had no bonus tags and once I rifle shot a deer I was done for the year so ML hunting was only after a missed rifle season. Have a lease this year in an area with plenty of doe tags and looking forward to shooting the ML at game. This year I'll be shooting the 250 grain Hornady bullet in a sabot over 2 50 gr 777 pellets. Shoots well and is plenty for the ranges I'd shoot.
I have done one kit ML - a Cabela's job in percussion .54 cal that was a fun build but haven't fired it yet. Looking at .54 cal conicals over loose 777 powder.
What I'd like to find (and don't know if it exists) is a youth sized traditional muzzleloader in kit form that I could assemble / build for my daughter for future fun. Thinking a scaled down percussion rifle in maybe a .45 cal.
Anyone have a suggestion on where to find such a beast? Thanks in advance for the info.
