Muzzleloader advice for novice-Okla - 09/22/19 04:22 PM
Ive added an Oklahoma lease to my Texas place. Their rifle season is short so I plan to get a muzzleloader to extend my season. I need advise on what to get. I know almost nothing about them. I respect and appreciate all yall guys that use one as a "primitive" weapon but that is not at all my goal. I want whatever is as close to a modern rifle as i can get. I want loading and cleaning to be as EASY as possible. I also don't have a lot of time to learn how to operate and how to find the right combination of components. Im used to 1" groups with my rifle and im used to shooting out to 250 yards. Im not sure how practical it is to get that out of a muzzleloader but tell me what I can expect as compared to that. If i cannot shoot accurately out to at least 150 yards without doing a lot of tinkering and research then i may not buy one.
I have gotten a little bit of advise from a guy with similar goals as me thats been down this road recently. He recommends a TC Encore Pro Hunter 50 cal. He has one like it in stainless camo with a VX Freedom 3-9x40 Leupold. He talks about Blackhorn 209 powder and various precision style bullets. Its all completely over my head and I don't have time to learn. Im completely clueless so im looking for whatever feedback I can get. Thanks in advance.
