I'm a 95 percenter. We have more members, and can beat up the 5 percenters. :D

Just remember Pete, not all of us ONLY carry ML's, hence the tag line :D Hell I might still be bigger than a bear but I'm oldern dirt. Only thing with much fight left in me is me bugger hooker on the bang switch! :wink:

I carry a .44 mag now. I'm going coyote hunting with it tomorrow. Think I can get close enough?

The 4 inch? What calls are you using? Carry some shooting sticks. Them critters are jittery and hard to hit with a handgun. It'll be some good practice for when you go bear hunting with it. Just remember what I told you on the bear hunting thing. "Update your Insurance policy and take someone SLOWER than you"! :happy0157:

I knew it :happy0157:

No you don't. :p

Only 5%, I thought their were a lot more of us than that. Lee

I would say 5% is about right. I am not there yet, but working on it......

Actually that 5% number peaked about 10 years ago, when smokeless entered the ML scene and is probably closer to 2.5% today.

Most ML shooters still live East in more populated America and typical harvests remain under 100 yards.

But hey, it's more important that we saturate ML boards today with 200-400 yard discussions. For the bulk of everyday members visiting ML boards in the offseason (Feb-Sept), has shifted to techies, makers, workers and suppliers of the industry.

So carry-on as usual and help to keep us 95%ers more educated on the world of high-tech muzzleloading. We desire about 10 more Lehigh topics please. Just haven't been enough of those this year. Need more Blackhorn discussions too. That powder does account for 80% of ML powder sales ..... doesn't it?

What do you mean Blackhorn sales lag under 20%. You would never believe that here. It's really rare to see a Pyrodex topic here, despite Pyrodex outselling Blackhorn by a mile and a half. Same with real blackpowder, which outsells Blackhorn by another mile and a half.

Both require Fatima miracles to get talked about here. Why?...... the board techies here want no part of them. But real America still does. So OK 5%ers.....carry-on while I slam this thread door-here shut.

SMLs have been around since the 1980s or even longer. http://www.smokelessmuzzleloading.com/

Using smokeless has little to do with range and far more to do with cost and convenience. It was and is the original BP replacement. A pound of smokeless goes much further and cost less per shot than subs.

Im sorry you could not make Blackhorn209 work for you. :wave::violin:
