[QUOTE="fishybobtrout, post: 449883, member: 10600"] I live in Alabama and up until a few years ago, we didn't have a separate season for muzzleloaders. But when it did open up, we get 5 days right before gun season starts, I went to BassPro and bought and bought the cheapest muzzleloader they had. I didn't want to spend a fortune only to find out that I hated muzzleloaders. I got a Traditions break action rifle in a package with a scope, hard case and a few other items for $200.00. I researched powders and after my friends experience with triple seven decided to go with the Blackhorn 209 powder. I can say that everything they say about it is true. That cheap muzzleloader with a 300gr hornady low drag bullet/sabot will print 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" groups at 100yds with 105 grains of Blackhorn 209 and no deer I've shot with it has been able to handle it. My longest shot to date with it was at 188 yds, but I draw the line at 200 yds with it. I can shoot 10 -12 times without cleaning, and only clean just to make it easier to load, although i can still load it after shooting that many times. I only wish i had bought a nicer gun because i'm hooked on muzzleloading now. But it is hard to get rid of a gun that shoots that good. My .02 Bob. [/QUOTE]
