Bolt action muzzleloader or a centerfire rifle?They Alphas will be later next year according to Mark. They are working on a new bolt gun first.

Apologies for going back in the thread a bit, I'm looking at reloading saboted slugs but finding it hard to get the components. What are you using for the reload and where do you get supplies? Any help appreciated.That’s true, I paid 200 for one when they came out.real accurate guns,but slugs are crazy expensive.I actually reload sabot slugs now but I always hunt with my muzzle loaders . I can’t seem to sell anything and I probably should, make some profit for sure
Ballistic products has quite a bit of stuff..and leon Guthrie just picked up the hammerhead slug company and will have supplies soon as well they mimic the old light field slugsApologies for going back in the thread a bit, I'm looking at reloading saboted slugs but finding it hard to get the components.

I’ve had both the h&r and the 220..cost here is about the same..5$ a shot..and honestly limited to 200 yards. You’re welcome to pm me if you’d like to talk more about them. Hate to hijack this threadThank you!!
I can't speak for South of the Border but up here in Canada Saboted slugs are so expensive at about $7 plus taxes CAD a shot. I had the chance of a 220 this year but turned it down because of the cost of the ammunition. One of the issues for those shooting ML's in Ontario is that we can't travel with the gun loaded. Loaded here is having powder and bullet in the barrel so we can't simply remove the primer at the end of a hunt and leave it ready to hunt the next day if we have to travel to and from the hunting ground.
The 220 or H&R allow you to clear the breach without firing a wasted shot or taking a wrench to the BP. In Southern Ontario there is no rifle hunting for deer so the saboted slug is a good option for some. I think if I were to go that route my choice would be the H&R in 20 gauge, the 220 in standard form is too much plastic for me. But then I think I like my Omega too much to go down that rabbit hole !!

can't wait!As of right now it looks like the end of 2024 at the earliest for Alpha. We are still working on prototype parts before they go to casting.
Light fields were real accurate and hit hard to 100 yards, after 100 they fell to the ground fast.if you miss judged yardage by 20 yards .say 120 , you shot way low.couple of my friends had cases of them .great short yardage slugsBallistic products has quite a bit of stuff..and leon Guthrie just picked up the hammerhead slug company and will have supplies soon as well they mimic the old light field slugs
True but the other saboted slugs on the market with .45 or .50 cal bullets fall off fairly well out at 150…with my savage 220 I can keep it in a 6” circle at 250 yards..but it drops a ton..30” plus or so..and well Below 1k foot pounds of energy. If I knew I was gonna shoot out past 100 yards the 220 stayed home and I just brought the muzzleloader then I realized at that point for those 100 yards and closer shots the I might as well just use the heavy hitting lightfieldsLight fields were real accurate and hit hard to 100 yards, after 100 they fell to the ground fast.if you miss judged yardage by 20 yards .say 120 , you shot way low.couple of my friends had cases of them .great short yardage slugs
