Let’s see those Smokeless builds!!

[Mike Matteson]

Okay. With all due respect, Mike it would "seem" that you may not agree/approve of SML's and that's fine….you're entitled to your own opinion. However, this thread was started ONLY for the purposes of seeing SML builds, talking about SML builds and SHARING INFORMATION concerning SML builds and load data. Kindly go start your own thread about "Opinions/Legalities of Smokeless Muzzleloaders" (or something like that) and let my thread continue as intended please.

It's not that I am don't agree/approve of the SML rifles. I am impressed with the rifles are doing. At the time I wasn't aware of the laws being changed. I almost lay down funds for a rifle. Then I became award of the laws being changed. So that put a stop to that for now. I am still looking and thinking about getting one.
I know of a rifle that available that most won't purchase, because of the change in the laws, but I am still thinking about it. It would be a backup to other rifles, if components can't obtained.
I have in the pass look to get around problems of supply of components. A great many years ago, I purchased almost every FL reloading die and molds for reloading using lead bullets for every caliber. I call it a rainy day supply. So I am always look up stream to see what maybe coming at me. "Be Prepair".
So don't get your dress up in the air. I have seen it time and time again here that people miss something, and get into trouble. I hate to see that happen, so that why I cam back on it again.

So…. these SML still can shoot black powder
substitutes. At the end of the day SML and traditional muzzlerloaders still drop powder down the tube along with your choice of bullet whether it be a cup and core bullet or a lead bullet you made yourself.

In Oregon, muzzle loader only seasons are limited to iron sights, black powder, cloth scabot, etc. BUT SMLs with scopes and everything are allowed during any rifle season. So there is is plenty of opportunity to hunt with them.

Are your posts written by some sort of voice-to-text app? I'd hate to think you typed that stuff in. They are nearly incoherent. As others have said, if you don't like SMLs, go start your own thread about it. In this thread, we just want to see people's builds and hear how they were made, what they shoot, and well they do. Ignore request approved.

That's awesome!! Thanks for bailing me out during the match. Miss shooting with you my friend….

Just stop... I am feeling left out here. I so badly would love to join you guys and meet up with Jeff at his challenge and shoot together. Would be a dream to Meet you all.

You are a good sport and even better competitor. I miss competing with all you guys as well.
As usual I won't be able to make the spring shoot because of work but maybe I can make the fall shoot this year.
I need a driver. It makes for a very long day to shoot and travel even if I get there a day early.
Besides, I'm not getting any younger.

@BKM

So, tell us the "Mark forgetting his bullets" story. That way I can have some "ammo" to razz him about before the matches (I need all the edge I can get).

When are the shoots?

 

[Deputy819]

When are the shoots?

The Spring shooting event is the weekend of April 21st, 22nd & 23rd.

 

[ENCORE]

The Spring shooting event is the weekend of April 21st, 22nd & 23rd.

How many rounds are "normally" sent? Is it an actual competition or just getting together and shooting?

 

[Deputy819]

So, the Friday before (21st) is a "practice" day to do whatever you need to. Saturday (22nd) is the scored shoot that consists of 2 sighters (optional) and 3 scored shots at each relay of 100, 200, 300 & 400 yards. Sunday (23rd) is just a "fun day"…..shoot how many ever of whatever and help clean up.
