200 yard Plus Muzzleloaders

It's fairly irresponsible for manufacturers and artists... ok.. writers, to be touting 200 yard muzzleloaders, and any gun suggesting that a muzzleloader is a 200 yard out of the box firearm is really irresponsible... for two basic reasons.

1) Most shooters aren't 200 yard shooters. Sad but true.

2) A muzzleloader takes real practice to be accurate at 200 yards, for one... as in one, and bullet selection for 200 yards is really critical... and your best 200 yard bullets are not your best 200 yard shooters (trajectory) in My OPINION. Heavy bullets are ALL that I would recommend for long range shooting and even when shooting sabots (Buffalo Bullets SSB for example) Heavy bullets will do the job best.

Time on the range makes a gun a 200 yard gun... not the manufacturer.

Aloha..
