Heard the break action guns are scope killers so looking for suggestions on a good scope that'll stay together.
I've heard tell that the smokeless MLs kick pretty good, doubt it has much to do with the action though. At least on a muzzleloader.
Shoot a smoker and a smokeless at the same speed and the smokeless kicks less. You have less total ejecta weight with smokeless. You need 95-100gr of Blackhorn by weight or more to get a 275gr/2300-2400fps. Using 4198 you can get there with around 56gr. Most guys shooting break action conversions are not shooting anything remotely close to the upper end loads. The conversion break guns however weigh less and recoil is increased.
