[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 977986, member: 13110"] All of my long range stuff was done with a .50cal Remington 700ML using 348gr Powerbelts and 120grs of 777. A .45cal would be better if your hunting deer but I was stuck using a .50 for elk. Since they got rid of the over the counter cow elk hunt around Lowman I have barely shot my muzzleloader. I use to shoot it all the time and much more often than my centerfire rifles. I use a insert style front sight with a crosshair type insert. It actually has a crosshair with a circle around the middle. It gave me a couple different aiming points with the front sight while still being able to see the target. I think it worked out to be 125yds for the middle of the crosshairs and 200yds for the second aiming point. I have 3 Remington 700ML's, a Austin and Halleck, a Gonic, a TC, and a Knight. The Remington's have been the most accurate. I have a Kreiger barrel for one of the Remington's too. [/QUOTE]
