Default RE: MUZZLOADER'S EFFECTIVE RANGE

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING...ease up on the cap locks!

With a modern inline 200 yards is doable for a well practiced shooter, 150 being the long side average. For a traditional shooter I'd say 100 yards is average but some may have 150 or longer max ranges under the right conditions.

For the likes of the smokeless or high sub shootersI'd say 200-250 would be the average with the odd well oiled machine taking it to the 300 or beyond.

Ability is a big part of the equation but just as much is the inability to have an effecient bullet past the 200 yard mark due to low BC. Unlike CF's the handicap is more equally placedwith theequipment, components &ability with a frontstuffer.
