Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders What bullet and propellant for elk in Hawken 50 traditional.

i cant disagree with you .
but you dont have to take that 200 yard shoot now do you .
also you didn�t have some outfitter who you just paid 3500 -10,000 for a so called guaranteed shot standing over your shoulder pointing at a deer or elk at 200 yards , whispering ; thats your shot , you want it ?
they dont get away with that during archery season . but the sure as hell try during a muzzleloader hunt .

i hear this BS all the time and its not just about round balls . its in every discipline . fixed broad head vs retractable . compound vs traditional vs cross bows .
in muzzle loading its the modern guys against the more traditional folks . then its the big conical shooters vs the sabot and pistol projectile shooters .
in fishing it barbed vs unbarbed . on mountain roads its the 4x4 guys against the ATV rider .
on the rivers its the rafters against the jet boat user .
In hunting it�s the large gage hunters against the small gage hunter .
OHHH if you use a .410 your wounding to many birds . If its not a 16 or better you need to stay home , bla , bla bla , bla bla

its simple , use what you want but do it responsibly .
If your not proficient with your weapon . If you don�t know your accurate range and the effective range of your load , then stay the HELL home .
