Mike, my buddy,,,,,, as long as you are calling people wrong, I'll return the favor.

You are wrong to bring centerfires into this discussion.....for obvious reasons.

Your take on the dangerous game is wrong. IF a professional hunter was going to hunt dangerous game with a MUZZLELOADER, my guess is they would take a HUGE conical and pack as much powder as they can behind it. You know, like that 620 gr Bullshop I was shooting that one day with 100 gr of 777. Only, I would probably pack it with 10-20 more grains of powder. I doubt any professional would use a little pistol bullet. Remember, only one shot. Again, you kind of compaired centerfire to MLer. NOT FAIR. How many big conical shooter - repeaters are there out there??? Your logic ain't makin sense.

I understand your arguement about shooting at a moving animal. Everyone has to make choices on what they are and are not capable. I would shoot at a CLOSE moving animal if the conditions were perfect, but if one is far away like the shots you are talking about, 100-200 yards, my personal belief is that if the animal is moving, it is just not a high percentage shot.

Just say you shoot a 1" group at 150 yards off of a bench. What can you shoot offhand? Let's say you shoot a 3" group. What does that group open up to when the target is moving? Now at 100 or about 160 yards and above, you haveto add 3" morebecause that is what you have done with your point blank range numbers. You said you have to just shoot, so no time to factor in those 3" toyour shot. It makes sense to me that unless the shooter is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, EVERY TIME, he should not take those shots at a moving target. Maybe you are perfect, but I am not.

Also, you seem kind of grumpy, did Terry stop cookingstroganoff for you or what???
