Big soft lead is the easiest path at achieving both. By far the least expensive too.
Dougs136Schwartz said:i said at the PRESENT time . The Knight Mountaineer .45 1-20 twist is your cheapest route to find a long range muzzleloader. You will have to push those SST s pretty darn fast out of that Ultimate to even get close to the same energy at 500 yards using a Pittman Aeromax bullet . Even if you could match the energy im not sure how well those bullets would preform at 500 yards on game either. Using smokless powder is a complete different story. I am talking cheapest route with a factory gun.(which is your cheapest route) Otherwise i would be pushing a Bestill Creations custom rifle.
I have competed against customs with my Knights. My scores shooting Knights against my customs have been pretty much a wash . My goal is to shoot a perfect score (excluding Xs) at the Nationals with a factory gun. That has never been accomplished with any rifle . May not be possible but a personal goal for myself.
I have to agree with GM heavy lead would be the cheapest and like I previous stated proven killer at any distance.
Not at all I'm enjoying the info.45cal said:seems like we stoled the mans post
