[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1204096, member: 2736"] I have not had any experience with the Rem UML so this may not help but it can't hurt ether. I have shot Muzzle loaders from 36 cal to 72 cal The best overall performance that I seen from all of them was consistently several things. .45 caliber worked the best for longer shots. Heavy hard cast bullets worked better than Sabots or Bullets with a plastic wad behind them. (The Sabot and the plastic gas seal worked very good at shorter distances, but accuracy deteriorated at the longer distances). In line muzzle loaders produced the best accuracy for me using Shocky.s or Triple 7 powders and follow up shots were no problem because of the lack of fouling. Good Aperture sights were the best if local laws did not allow a red dot or low power scope. Also depending on the laws where you are The best possible black powder accuracy was/has been with a black powder cartridge rifle. The cartridge has all the fun of a muzzle loader, but will extend your range from 3 or 400 yards to 800 + yards and are legal in most states if there design is before turn of the century. (1900). The 45/120 is the best I have found of the 45/70 ,45/90, 45/110 I have owned and tried. So there are lots of options for you to choose from and these are just my observations based on my experiences with black powder rifles. I personally don't use any smokeless powder in my black powder rifles because it defeats the purpose and fun of the smoke and can be dangerous if not used with caution in Black powder rifles. I also prefer the wood or laminate stocks for there balance and weight. (Recoil can be heavy because of the heavy bullets used and the laminates will help with accuracy and recoil. Here is a video that can show the potential of a good BP cartridge rifle. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRaRCCZjdTM[/url] Just something to think about. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
