[QUOTE="Glenn Tullius, post: 2702927, member: 110556"] I stopped at a small gun shop yesterday, and looked at a "muzzleloader/rifle" he builds on his custom bolt action. You put a primer in something that looks like a shell holder off my press, insert it into the bolt face and close the bolt action. It had a Bell and Carlson stock, TriggerTech trigger, and a 26" semi-bull stainless steel barrel. You pour the powder, 4198 i think, or something like that, and push a 327 grain, very steep pointed custom bullet ($1.25 each, nothing else can be substituted because of the bore fit) effortlessly down the tube and shoot. With a long range scope, this combo shoots a chronographed bullet at [B][I]3,080 feet per second! He said the effective range for elk is 750 YARDS! Yes, it's not for the "average guy"...$4,750.00 each, cash money, sans scope of course.[/I][/B] So is this where Muzzleloading is going? Is this going to be the new definition of a [B]"Primitive Weapon?"[/B] I have no dog in this hunt, I tried it, it's ok, old age and eyesight took me out of the game with iron sights. [/QUOTE]
