Ok I mentioned this in another post.
If you were to build a muzzy for LONG distance target only shooting what would it be. We have a club here in Southern Colorado that shoots out to 600 yards. They are a traditional club, you can only use primitive muzzys no inlines and no sabot.

I was thinking of using my T/C sidelock with a set of Creedmore's on it.

What do you think?

It might work. But in that kind of case I would look at a Gibbs or a Whitworth rifle.

If money was no object I would get a Gibbs.

Are they muzzle loaders?

The Gibbs and Whitworth rifle are muzzleloaders.

for me to shoot with these guys it would have to be percussion cap or flintlock

They are booth percussion.

I built a 35.5 inch long barrel in a Hawken on a set of plans from the museum in St Louis MO in 54 caliber that did well for me at Friendship but patch round ball is no much good over 200yds. I guess you would be looking for a paper patch slug gun to shoot up to 1000 meters.

A Gibbs would be pretty nice

Lee, that is what I will be doing. I was thinking of using some of the maxi style conicals I have made. So far I have had GOOD results with some 385g maxi's on top of a button patch over 80-90g of select. at 100 yards or less the gun will shot 1 inch groups.

I'm thinking a slightly lighter conical will improve my long range capability. It's not like I need the energy for penatration as long it will stay stable over a long distance. Hell I don't care if it will shoot 400 yards, I'd just like to shoot out there a little more.
