Agree with both of these guys.



The problem is, none of you guys is shooting the best muzzleloader ever made.

My Savage Muzzleloader will outshoot any other muzzleloader or shotgun carried in the woods for hunting. It cost me about $.70 per shot and gives me 1.5" groups at 200yds. 45grs of IMR 4227 easily gets a 250gr XTP to 2100+fps and 2300fps is a cakewalk. The 300gr Barnes can readily hit 2100-2200fps for things bigger than deer if shots pushing 300yds may be needed.

It always goes bang when the trigger is squeezed, doesn't blind you with smoke or make you taste it, and cleans as easily as any centerfire rifle.

I would NEVER hunt with a shotgun if my muzzleloader was available, and allowed.
