I hunt with my ML's during all the firearms seasons here. Except Archery i use my crossbow in it
The XP-100. That would make an amazing sml pistol. Very much like the Knight or White pistols. I love that forward grip. It makes for a much better balance.You could find one of those old Remington Centerfire pistols I forget what they were called and I think more recently Savage had a Centerfire pistol too either one of those should be easy to put a 45 Cal Barrel on but the bridge plug and run modules in it
I think the Striker was a model 510. I noticed that the Savages all seemed to have a LH action, while the Rems used their RH action. Pretty smart on Savages part imho.I remember Savage had one too seem like it was called a striker but I might be wrong those are around still you can find them if you shop for them that would make an excellent smokeless Muzzleloader and again you could shoot any powder ,smokeless ,Triple 7 Blackhorn ,black powder ,wouldn't matter as long as you had a good smokeless rated Barrel.
Mr. Monkey…let me explain “ the traditional rifle sentiment“ perhaps in a way that you can understand.In those states where the traditional Shooters Are Ringing their hands because they're quote season isn't traditionally ruled enough to their liking why don't they just remember they have the freedom to hunt as traditional as they want to no one is stopping them all of the rifle season they can carry their traditional rifle sometimes I just don't understand the traditional rifle sentiment, why don't we just go back to Spears and rocks let's make it as primitive as we can.
I would like a optima style single shot pistol that could be converted ( If it didn't shoot good with BP )
Someday i may bug Mark Woodman to make a barrel for one.I'd be happy if CVA would simply make a .45 caliber pistol based on the same frame as the .50.
Dont even need to be smokeless either. Imagine a 45cal conical in a hand cannon. What they really need is to have the firing pin bushing redone too. One with a smaller pin and no slit going thru it.Someday i may bug Mark Woodman to make a barrel for one.
Today is someday.Start bugging him today!!!I Wonder what the lead time would be for something like that.I bet he is over loaded with work.I can wait.Just having fun dreaming.Someday i may bug Mark Woodman to make a barrel for one.
I shot a .45 cal conical/sabot of about 450 grains with T7 out of mine one time. Once was enough.Dont even need to be smokeless either. Imagine a 45cal conical in a hand cannon. What they really need is to have the firing pin bushing redone too. One with a smaller pin and no slit going thru it.
Well…I’m not gonna defend any of those “buckskinsters” cuz I never could endorse grown men playing “dress up”….but I am gonna stick up for traditional muzzleloaders…butMan............. stop with the BS of traditional vs modern or SML. That's all old ship that's been beat to death.
Like MtMonkey said, if you want to dress up as something you're not, nor will ever be, and shoot a traditional rifle while hunting, HAVE AT IT! No one is stopping you.
Play dress up like these folks are doing, pretending to be something they're not.
If you want to play "traditional" go to the traditional forum. Otherwise, let the original question be answered.
Varies state to state…Nevada deer/elk/antelope/sheep tag system is a draw system with very limited muzzleloader tags…no one I know ever gets a tag every year…it’s gone from every 2 years to 3 and 4 years between tags of any kind…most western states do tags by draws...dwindling tag chances incentivizes hunters to get a muzzleloaderI believe there is a distinct difference between a Muzzleloader hunting season and a “Traditional” Muzzleloader season. You can’t really weasel into a Traditional ML season with a modern inline or SML.
Some (truths are self evident ) anyone wanting to stay in the woods more than just a short rifle season want one even if it costs more !! It enables me to hunt more days and that's a (great thing) as you get older you just wish you started sooner . Sleeping in has never been an option for me ./EdVaries state to state…Nevada deer/elk/antelope/sheep tag system is a draw system with very limited muzzleloader tags…no one I know ever gets a tag every year…it’s gone from every 2 years to 3 and 4 years between tags of any kind…most western states do tags by draws...dwindling tag chances incentivizes hunters to get a muzzleloader
The OP is asking WHY go smokeless…. as much as some guys don’t like it, part of the answer has to do with hunting and expanding someone’s chance of getting a tag for a given year.
Not much tension here, still got more wood in and definitely don't remember hands this cold @9 degrees . Guess memory loss could be a good thing . Another load and off to the condo to borrow one of my Buddy heaters as I suspect I'm gonna need one at the short range (shortly) /EdIt is the tension and often the spirit of our expression verbally in this Arena of tradition versus modern that bothers me so much if I put myself in the place of a strict traditional shooter I can understand feeling like it's just not fair for the other modern muzzleloaders to have a part of my hunting season if I'm in a state that allows that,, it just seems like we spend so much time slamming the opposite opinion and views and some of us do it in nice ways but it's still being critical on both sides I think that spirit in that attitude turns a lot of people away and I know others it just fires up to make the argument,,,I can big guilty real quick if I'm not careful of assuming the same critical spirit towards those that don't see things the way I do as a man getting up there in years I value the difference in opinion and approach I rarely value how we apply it verbally
