[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 463507, member: 29323"] I'm always trying to improve. When I was much younger, I made a very long shot (250 yards) with my .270. It was ugly. Now I routinely make longer shots than that with my muzzleloader. If you don't push the envelope [B]a little[/B], you never know what you and your rifle are capable of. You have to hit the kill zone with a bullet that will expand and penetrate at that velocity. Figuring that out sometimes requires some trial and error. I've found that at 300 plus yards, they don't know where to run, so they don't. That gives you a chance to correct your mistakes, assuming you're not completely out of your ability zone. I won't try 300 yards with that muzzleloader combination again, because I like quick, clean kills. At 200 it does it every time. I was shooting Precision Rifle 340 gr. Dead Centers with 150 gr. of 777 and a 30" Kahnke rifle. I haven't found a muzzleloader bullet that performs as well as a rifle bullet. That's why I like what edge is doing shooting rifle bullets in a sabot. [/QUOTE]
