DeerSlayer,

You have some good advise in the above posts! I have shot alot at 200 yds withMANY of different muzzleloaders and I would suggest if you are going to attempt such a shot, PRACTICE until you are comfortable with such a shot! No one off target groups then off to the field!

You will need to do the following to be in the ballpark:

1- Chronograph your load - You will need about 2000 fps with a 200 sst to have enough energy at 200 yds.. This would give you about 700ft/lbs or so left.. If you cant get the velocity accurately, scrap the project....

2- Hunt with a rangefinder..

3- Zero the bottom of your duplex at 200 yards! This should equal about 3" high dead on at 100 yds

4- Practice practice practice! I would say shoot 30-40 rds at that range MINIMUM and as close to hunting season as possible.

5- Lung shot - forget the shoulders!

If your gun can handle 3-50gr pellets, I would suggest that load. I have shot 3 pellets and a 200 shockwave from my disc elite and it is avery accurate.

Good luck and keep us posted!
