I am looking for a new muzzleloader for realistic range of 400 yds or less. Is the rem ultimate enough? Any good custom makers better for a little more. Anyone have real world experience with gunwerks? I want to have something legal for most states.
Thanks
If you can swing it, go custom. My dad (R.I.P.) always said,
"If you don't have the money or time to do it right the first time, where will you get the money and time to do it over?"
These custom rifles are more accurate than most shooters can shoot them. If you can find a RUM that someone didn't like and has it for sale cheap, but it for the action. I'm not sure Luke is converting RUM's right now, you'd have to check with him, but I do know Levi is. Re-barrel it with a fast twist 45cal and Arrowhead BP and ignition, then be prepared to find out just how well you can shoot
The custom rifles capable of shooting SML, make the best BH209 rifles.
I needed to set my zero stop from shooting production charges of BH209 (competition requirement), which I did the other day.
I shot two different bullets using 100grs WEIGHT of BH209. First bullet was shot at the center diamond in the photo below. I forgot....... that bullet requires a veggie wad and I was using wool. Shot to the right was fouler, next two were a 2n1.
I then switched to the Arrowhead 300gr XLD bullets and again 100grs WEIGHT of BH209, wool wad. First five (5) rounds went into the lower right diamond. Made my final adjustment and sent five (5) to the lower left diamond. I can't do this every time, but the rifle is capable all the time.
