They are accurate never use pwoerbelts in them though as they dont not have enouh pressure in the barrel to keep them accurate nor powerful enough for huntingg. Good guns. range and power is the same as any muzzeloader bonus is you can smokelss powder

Post by: zach1234 on January 03, 2011, 08:27:43 PM: but you can use black powder or smokeless powder in it so as long as it was loaded with black powder well hunting why would it not be ok. Thanks

It uses 209 ignition only and does not have an exposed breech/nipple.
