i know this isnt exactly a deer hunting forum, but ill give it a shot.
as you know "primitive weapon" season is approaching, ive been talking with some people about different muzzle loaders..... some say theres can shoot 200 plus yds, others say 50-100yds, some, like me, seem to think 50-75yds.

what about yalls?

Encore 2 pellets, 50 cal bullet, about six inches drop at 200 yds when sighted in for 100, I like it a lot, in fact it's not a muzzleloader it's a freakin rifle, only thing that makes it a rifle is you load it through the barrel. Daniel Boone would fall over if he saw todays inline stuff. However if you are looking to shoot a long way, the new inlines are the way to do it. I like my Encore but am still a purist, use my TC Hawken with open sights to shoot my deer, still a challenge that way.

With the right bullit and powder combination, the good ones will shoot good groups at 200 yds with plenty of killing power.

I've got a Knight Wolverine....at 100 yds, it's dead on.....I prolly wouldn't shoot at one at 200 cause I still have an AIMPOINT on it...haven't gone to a scope yet.......but with a scope, I'd probably feel comfortable reaching out to 150-200.....

at 200, the aimpoint covers the deer....i'd be in the neighborhood, but wouldn't risk that shot..

ENCORE!!!!! If you can hold it on him at 200 yards you can kill him.

Knight Disc..50cal...I've killed two over 250yds with witnesses...clean pass through. Three pirodex pellets and 180 grn bullet.
