[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1447930, member: 52437"] I'm sorry to break the news to you but you will not be able to get past 500 yards with a ML. Even beyond 300 is difficult at best. Go join some of the muzzleloader forums with the competition muzzleloader guys. A muzzleloader that shoots 2in groups at 100 yards is typical. 1.5in is great and sub MOA is on the rare side and has a lot to do with more than just the muzzleloader quality itself (for example how hard you ram the projectile, to fouling shots, and how you swab in between shots...etc) Even if you are lucky enough to have a 1inch gun at 100 yards things change drastically past 250 yards. Competition muzzleloader shooters are aiming to go 1.5-2MOA at 300 yards as an FYI which is a 3-6inch group. Distances beyond that and it gets even worse. Lots of people jump into the muzzleloader game expecting to do what a rifle can do and it is just simply not possible. If you came on here saying you wanted to hunt elk out to 300 yards then id be saying will be tough but definitely doable. Anything past that is just not ethical imho. [/QUOTE]
