Was on the fence about picking up a 1x scope for the muzzy but happened to get an east side quality muzzy elk tag.  I ordered the Leupold RDS muzzle loader scope with the CDS dial today and a rail with rings to drop it as low as possible to the bore.  Anybody run some rounds underneath one yet?  Not many reviews out there.

I have shot to 100 yards with mine so far. With a few shots further. So far I love it. Seem more consistant with less flyers on groups. Love everything about it. I have not played with cds portion yet for distance adjustments. And I can say I still hold to my opinion on my max range will stay very close to the same with or without the 1x vs open sites. I feel cleaner shooting it but to me it is still 1x and I won't be stretching shot distances compared to my peep sight. I was very comfortable to 135 to 150ish yards before. Still feel like that will be my max.

I've ran 8 shots through my accura and have been impressed. Got about a 3 inch group at 100 yards. Still have some more rounds to send downrange though. 

BULLBLASTER:
While not a leupold rds, i bought a trijicon rmr for my muzzle loader. Put it on my 22 for the time being for repetition and practice. In the 3-400 rounds since i bought it i completely disagree with the idea that it wont increase my effective range. It has to imo. The range i go to has an 8 inch chicken at 220 yards and i can hit that at will with my 22.
Now i completely understand that it is a 22 and not a muzzle loader, but the aiming mechanics are the same. A big benefit is the field of view. You can accurately hold over without obscuring the target whatsoever. That is going to he huge.
My next step is to put a 10x on my muzzle loader and learn its ballistics out to 300 yards, then switch back to the dot. I am confident that i can get consistence yo 200+ yards and 300 may not be put of the question depending on just how much holdover it would involve. The elevation dial on the rds would only help if it is consistent.  :twocents:

Caseknife:
I have both the RDS and a Sig Romeo5 on AR's and decided on the Romeo for the muzzy.  Before shooting it though decided to get the Romeo4 because it had a drop reticle and that is on it now.  Agree that it will allow for hold over without blocking the target.
