[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 1988529, member: 113003"] Man do I have experience with Muzzleloaders....I bought property in Iowa and cannot use my preferred hunting rifles. So, over the course of 15 yrs have owned and tested more smoke poles than I can count. Rather than spend all day I’ll sum up my findings. If u want the absolute best for accuracy, speed, reliability and long range out to 500yds......you’ll need a smokeless setup. I ended up with a McWhorter.45 cal....yes it’s expensive but worth every penny. No sabot to deal with, shooting a 325gr Pittman at 2800-2900 fps. I can’t imagine anything better. I do know there are more and more builders that will build u a smokeless and cost a lot less than McWhorter........I know of a great ‘Smith in Illinois that will have u out the door in the $3200 range and his guns will shoot just as accurately as any. If u cannot go thr smokeless route I would use Blackhorn 209. It’s cleaner than any other non smokeless and will generate about 15% more velocity. Good luc [/QUOTE]
