[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1696416, member: 33046"] That's a great idea for entry level, but not for distance. If the OP wants extended range and still keep within the .50cal regulations of archaic states regulations, then one rifle that will give both the .50cal bullet minimum and long range would be the Remington Ultimate Muzzleloader (RUM). However with the RUM, I would highly recommend removing the OEM breech plug and replacing it with an Arrowhead Gen2 breech plug before even shooting the rifle. This combination will allow HEAVY charges of BH209. The FURY Star Tip2 .50cal bullet shoot excellent from these rifles and you easily have a 400yd plus rifle with more than enough energy for antelope at that distance. You can send a 300gr bullet out the muzzle at 2,400fps. Well beyond what production rifles are capable of. If...…….. you're not hunting any of the archaic states with PP regulations and consider a .45cal rifle, then either the Knight Mountaineer or Ultra-Lite with the 1:20 twists are excellent shooting and accurate rifles. These Knight rifles are wining every muzzleloader competition designed for modern PRODUCTION inline rifles. Sadly, CVA can't even show. Want to go all out? Then a custom built .45cal is the way to go.[I] If you don't have the money or time to do it right the first time, where will you get the money or time to do it over?[/I] I'm sending .450", 300gr bullets out the muzzle of my custom at 2,900fps.
