[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 206967, member: 2736"] Jes Had you though about a falling block like the sharps or the browning 1885 ? The reason I brought this up is the distance that you want to shoot. Even though the muzzel loaders are very accurate they have trouble competing with the breach loaders at long distance. I have a 45/110 Sharps and realy injoy shooting and hunting with it (It is legal in most states during blackpowder season because it was designed before 1900). As to realy long range I have just completed a 45/120 on a Browning 1885 high wall with a 30" #8 taper 1 in 14 twist Lilja barrel for 500gr + bullets and a 30" Leatherwood Malcom 6x scope with 200MOA vertical adjustment and 100MOA windage adjustment. With this setup I should be able to shoot close to 1600yrds (-202MOA ) and 800yrds in a ten mile an hour wind 100+MOA.800yard energy=1028.3ft/lbs and 1600yard energy= 582.3 ft/lbs. I have not gone to the range with it yet but as soon as I do I will post pictures and the accurace results. Just a though, If your going to spend money on a muzzle loader then this would be a better choice in my opinion and would still be Very traditional. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
