[wheels]

i was watching sheep shape last night  said one of them was shooting muzzle loader 500 yards. possible?

[vandeman17]

I can shoot mine that far and farther. Hitting what I am shooting at is a whole different story. 

[JimmyHoffa]

There are some custom ones that are made for serious long range.

[DOUBLELUNG]

It's possible to remove a screw with a butter knife - but that doesn't mean a screwdriver isn't a better option.

very true just was shocked always considered them good out to 100 maybe 200 max

 :chuckle:Velocity increases after the top of the rainbow.  People can justify anything if they over think enough.

The way I see it is at 250 yards you have lost half of your velocity already,Nearing 1000 ft. per second,By the time it went another 250 yards its not moving with enough energy. 

[stevemiller]

I just found something from hornady that changes that.  :yeah:I will try to put it in here.

[stevemiller]

bullet hornady 250 grain                  Ballistic coefficient .210
muzzle velocity (2800)  this is supposed to be 2300
zero range 200 yards
@1000 yards 757 fps.
@500 yards 1149 fps.
@ 1000 yards 318 fp energy
@500 yards 733 fp energy.

[jdb]

A muzzle loader Dosent reach anywhere near 2800 fps
