[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1447971, member: 33046"] 500yds is a poke, but its certainly not that a muzzleloader won't do it. Its rather there's enough bullet energy remaining. A friend of mine has pulled off 1,000yd shots with one of his muzzleloaders at steel. I believe you're off considerable on how well competition shooters actually can shoot and the groups they're capable of. 1" groups at 100yds with the right equipment is normal and common, actually less than MOA at 100yds. Throw in a rear bag or full rest and it will amaze people how accurate a muzzleloader can be, and at long range. Now not everyone is going to pick up even a complete custom muzzleloader and shoot tiny groups, rather that be at 100yds or 500yds. It takes a lot of bullets sent down range, more than anything knowledge of the wind and complete confidence. Here's a couple BP Xpress targets. The 500yd target is my first ever 3 shot attempt at 500yds, with the target witnessed and signed. [ATTACH=full]99242[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99243[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
