There's horrible story from Alaska about a guy hunting with one of these electric muzzle loaders. His partner said hehad a 20 foot shot on a charging Kodiak.Huge one.....over 1,200 pounds.

The last thing he said to his wife before leaving to hunt was,

"Hon.....did you put in a fresh battery?"

His wife thought he was talking about the Smoke Detector. It was awful. They said he set the Fairbanks Mercy Hospital record for stitches. Emptied two Bloodmobiles, too.
