Muzzleloader bullet
I know, I know, about every other month someone asks this question, but I am looking for a bullet combination.
My hunting buddy and I are planning on muzzleloader hunting in Colorado, and can't use saboted bullets. I have a Knight Long Range Hunter with 1:28" twist, and need a conical bullet that shoots decent, but yet can do serious damage at 100+ yards. Any suggestions??? |
RE: Muzzleloader bullet
385 and 410 grain Hornady great plains, 348 or 405 grain powerbelt. What game you hunting? Elk or deer? Also what area you hunting? Im in southern Colorado.

Man that is an easy one... a 460 grain MT Nex Bullshop. They are awesome and shoot very accurately. I shoot them with 90 grains of T7-3f from my GM-LRH barrel. Dan will size them to fit your barrel but you will need to know the size of your barrel. I would guess .503 or .504. That way no short starter needed just load them as you would a sabot - push them down with your thumb - then home with the ram rod... These are legal in CO .961" long  If you would like to see a ballistic sheet on this bullet let me know http://bullshop.gunloads.com/contact.html |

You need to slug your barrel. I would suggest you cast your own. But if that guy at Bull Shop will size them for you, then that is a great idea. And it would justify a premium price. Tom

Dan in Alaska (Bullshop) makes a durn fine bullet.
You also may want to try the "No Excuses" 460 grain or larger. http://www.muzzleloading-bullets.com/index_files/Page319.html |

ORIGINAL: HEAD0001 You need to slug your barrel. I was looking at getting a bullet that I can purchase readily, like some kinda pre-lubed Thompson Center or something. I went with anspecialsabot lastseason and had a terrible time locating more in a pinch. Given the huge response on Bull Shop Bullets, I may just give them a shout though. |

What gun are you going to use? If you have used sabot/bullet combination before what was that... With this information I may be able to tell you which size Bull Shop you need... I think he is near $22.00 per 50 but lead is going up... then a standard rate box whether your buy 50 or 500... mike |
