I have no clue about a Lapua. Never seen one or shot one.
However...... This is data from my muzzleloader and a 300gr bullet.
What's total BS I take deer with mine every year my kids have as well

But the Lapua is ok?
This is exactly the type post that hunters/shooters/competitors do not need. No one has to hunt with one if they don't want to. Because some want to shoot modern, that doesn't mean that its BS. We all have enough issues right now with the nut cases and those who want to completely ban ALL types of firearms. Yet there are those among us that, because its not THEIR way, or they disagree, its BS ????

He must only hunt with an atlatl or a spear he carved himself with an arrow head he worked from raw stone. I wish more of us were real men like him.
Is that an encore conversion or some other platform?

I agree with to each his own, I don't think you should try to make something illegal just because you disagree with it. I love mine and use it in modern firearms season a lot of times but I don't think everyone else should have to do that just because I choose to. They are not legal to use everywhere in muzzle loading seasons you have to check the regulations in the state you are hunting in. I killed my biggest whitetail ever with mine, in modern firearms season btw.

I'm shooting a 275 grain leaving at about 3000 fps it's not that bad with a brake on it, and of course when that trophy is standing out there you don't feel a thing. LOL. The guns are pretty heavy. They are not the light weight back country hiking rifle you carry all day. When the brake comes off the boots come out though, you will know you been shooting the next day unless you are a younger man. I will admit though the main reason I bought mine was just laziness. I got tired of cleaning a gun every time I loaded it. LOL

Nope. It is a full blown custom 45cal. I shoot both SML and BH209. One week from today I'll be at Camp Atterbury shooting 350gr XLD bullets with 120grs VOLUME of BH209 at 800, 900, and 1,000yds. Velocity is 2173fps.
The muzzle brake makes shooting the rifle a breeze. My great niece, soaking wet weighs about 100# and she'd shoot it all day long if you let her. That is a LR Customs muzzle brake. They work!
Its pretty accurate. Target was witnessed and signed by 3 others at the range.

I find that very interesting. I've been looking that muzzleloaders for a long time. I hadn't realize that a muzzleloader could achieve that. An easy 200yd+ rifle. Wanting know about make model, and caliber? Looks like I am going to have change my sights to a muzzleloader as the next project. Thanks for the input. Please advise. What you have put up here states a lot.
