[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2545631, member: 101791"] There is a lot of states that have heavy restrictions on use of a black powder rifle. Where the rifle that's been shown wouldn't be allowed in several states. Several state don't allow scopes, and some don't allow for inline firing set ups. It's times like this, that we can't hardly get components for modern day rifles. So a black powder rifle might come in handy. I have info on how to make black powder. I not sure if it's would be up to today standards, but it's achievable. I have the items to make up bullets or cast them, in any caliber. I am amazed at the velocity that can be achieved with the black powder rifles. Accuracies I was aware of, but out to only 300yds or so, but with that velocity I can see where the range is greatly extended. I kind of have to laugh about all the hell over the AR-15 again, and the 2nd amendment was only for black powder firearms. and the now day black powder shoots better than the AR-15. I realize that the muzzle loader can't be fire as much, but anyway it can reach in the right hands. So I wouldn't get my dress all up in the air over black powder rifles. I am again glad he shared the info. I don't think much about people making 1000yd shots when hunting. If I can't close that distance down to under 500yds, I don't think it hunting, but that my feeling. So using black powder or shooting 1000yds for animals doesn't make it wrong. Generally my shots are under 200yds and closer. The only thing I use extended range is varmint hunting, and that help keep my eye on target. When bow hunting it's under 75yds. Now that hunting with all the skills to close the distance. Now I can't travel the ground as well now, being older, so I have had to go back to a rifle. [/QUOTE]
