It ends when ones mind allows it to end.........I'm guessing this is the one that is reaching 2800fps? When you're replicating centrefire ballistics at what point do muzzleloader seasons just end?
Base is a variable you have no control over and same as sabot

kind of a low BC isn't it

The BC & SD of a 30cal will be better than a 40.
Theirs isn’t faster or flatter.
Back during the early "Super 45" days it was a 45cal shooting a 40cal 155-175gr bullet in a sabot. A 3 pellet load would get you in the 2500fps range. That is similar to a 7mm-08
Well they mostly got that speed but with a more of a pattern than a group. It didnt take long for them to blame the twist instead of the load. PR bullet still claims a 1-20 is too fast for sabots but that is not entirely true....Maybe too fast for the sabots he sells with his bullets is a more accurate statement.
So i take the claimed speed CVA is posting with a grain of salt. That much speed dont meen squat to me if its a pattern shooter and the bullet acts like a Varmint Grenade on impact.
I didn't know the history, I thought I read in some of the eastern states it was a safety thing. But having worked for the past decade in government I should have known better!In the beginning you had firearms and archery. Somewhere along the line states wanted to increase revenue from tags or simply needed another way to keep numbers in check.
Then BOOM, the muzzleloader seasons were born
The end..
Mine is after firearms so why even bother if its the same tag. I just hunt the firearms season and avoid the colder "alternative season" altogether. They allow pistols in mine so i have no incentive to hunt it unless i just want to hunt.
