I've got some very accurate MZ loaders at 100 yards, but as I increase the powder charge to increase the velocity thing go south erratically.
They would be accurate at 300 yards if I could get enough elevation on the barrel. (shooting sabots)
mine are 28 inch barrels with a 1/28 twist
When I want to go for accuracy I drag out my 300 win mag, 264 win mag that I've glass bedded and reload accurate ammo for and see how well that I can shoot (read the wind, etc) rather than testing the gun.
Black powder and 300 yards, let us know what you come up with eventually!0 -
google long range target muzzle loading rifles and also check out chunk guns topic here. The ones I have used were like the chunk guns. But were very accurate.
ADD: this is like one I had. http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=457672278
The topic is in ask the experts under title "enlighten me on this" That can be VERY addictive like most shooting sports.[:)]0 -

.50cal @ 38 inches
I've had an old Hatfield warranted for more than 30 years and have never thought of looking for anything to replace it.0
