First off I shoot a traditional Muzzleloader but I have no problem with the Inlines. I even bought one but I just like my old traditional gun more. I like the idea of allowing jacketed bullets. Jacketed bullets are not any more accurate and they do not allow a hunter to shoot farther. The advantage is that they do more damage on impact. Allowing Jacketed bullets would result in more retrieved game and fewer wounded animals. A solid chunk of lead doesn't do the damage that a modern broadhead or high power rifle does. I have been involved in a bunch of Muzzleloader kills and animals just don't bleed like they do when shot with a bow or rifle. It is hard to know where to draw the line on this stuff.... Sometimes I think technology is getting out of hand..... I think the manufacturers better watch out or we could end up going back to Long bows and Flintlocks. Ya know, that might not be so bad........ |

I agree too. I see these guys on the hunting shows with inlines jacketed bullets,scopes, 209s, etc and I think what the hell is the disadvantage or the challenge. I have 2 muzzleloaders a CVA hawken (.50 cal) I built from a kit and a Lyman Trade rifle (.54 cal) and have killed elk with both of them. The 385 gr slug dropped the cow I shot right in her tracks. I was able to retreive the slug and it retained 98% of it's weight and mushroomed to the dia. of a quarter (very devastating) |
