Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders LR muzzleloader set up

If it's legal in your state, it sounds like you would be happy with a smokeless muzzleloader. I went down the same path last fall.

This is what I put together:
Remington 700ML Action
Arrowhead Sporting goods breech plug
28" Brux 1/20 Twist 45 Cal with straight flutes
Jewell Trigger
McMillan Game Scout

It's the middle rifle:


I shoot the Parker 270 Emax(sized with a swing lock die) over 70 grains of Hodgdon 4198. I'm getting 2828 fps(according to the Labradar) with this combination. After a bit of shooting at the range, I plugged all the numbers into my Gunwerks BR2.



I put this in a MDT Chassis while I was waiting on McMillan to deliver the Game Warden. The first night I had it out, I shot a doe at 405 yards. It was a heart shot. She made it about 25 yards. I shot another doe the next day in the lungs at 85 yards. It was a pretty devastating hit, and she just fell over.



Our alternative methods season in Missouri is getting ready to start back up in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to getting this back out to hunt.
