[QUOTE="jes10x1, post: 185115, member: 8715"] [b]Black Powder at Long Range[/b] This is a bit of "hear-say" as I've not shot BP at distance. I have done a good bit of target work at 600+. From what I've read, particularly with muzzle-loaders, the preferred .45 cal bullets are 535+ grains in weight and the charges run 85-100 grains, which all falls in with the previous comments on cartridges. I would do a GOOD bit of research on the twist. It seems most of the Muzzle Loading people who shoot at 1,000 like to have around a 1:18 twist. Just a word of caution and suggestion to look things over. Once the barrel is cut, you are committed. John [/QUOTE]
