[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1736554, member: 33046"] Shooting/hunting long range isn't for everyone and it isn't as easy as some might think. Wind is the enemy. Most shooters/hunters should avoid shots even at 200yds. However I've taken many whitetail at 250yds+ over the years with a production muzzleloader. On the other hand, I likely shoot more than most and at long range. I respectfully disagree about the competition shooter part. Inline shooting has evolved into a larger competition and they're shooting MOA and less without a rear rest of any kind, only off the shoulder, out to 500yds. This is also done with production rifles and production rifle charges. Custom rifles can compete, but they are held to a maximum charge of 120grs VOLUME of BH209. Once you get into customs, such as both rifle photos posted above, then you're talking a whole new world in long range accuracy and bullet energy, and that's using substitutes. When you get into the smokeless muzzleloaders, the whole world changes again. Its nothing to maintain 1/2MOA at 500yds with those rifles and maintain 1,700fpe (bullet energy). Never under estimate the capabilities of today's modern inline rifle. [/QUOTE]
