Came across a guy this weekend that had a $5000 muzzleloader with arrowhead parts. Shoots 110 by weight of blackhorn and claims is accurate to 800 yd, using parker bullets, variflame ignition and a descent scope. As interesting as it sounded, I did some research and found a few builders and the cost was $2600 up to $9500 for a custom muzzleloader.
I then found CVA has adjusted their powder data for Paramount. Paramount line was listed at I think 112 by weight if I remember correct. One Cva Paramount is $1900 down to around $900. The Paramount can shoot the same amount of blackhorn as these high end rifles. Difference appears to be the stock configuration and not using carbon fiber barrels.
So the question is what can these $5000 dollar muzzle loaders do that a muzzle loader that cost about 2/3 less cant do if the same amount of powder and bullet is used?
