I thought I would find this previously asked, but I must have missed it. I already have killed a 5 point bull with a borrowed .50 cal in-line and a sabot at 70 yards. But now I hear that some muzzleloaders are accurate out to 200 yards. I want to equip myself for that. I have decided a T/C Omega would be a good choice, but am looking for solid advice on whether .45 cal. or .50. It seems a sabot out of a .45 caliber would be the more accurate (less drop), but would I lose too much impact energy? Thanks!
.45's are no more accurate than .50's! Accuracy depends on quality of barrels, sights, and ammo, NOT CALIBER! For shooting elk at 200 yards, accuracy is of course important, but so is impacvt energy! Shoot whichever bore/load combo gives both!
