    Gunwerks has a LR500 muzzle loader that guarantees sub moa 500 yard groups. I do not own one or even seen one for that matter but after seeing the LR1000 rifles in action, I believe it.

      This.

      And watch out or folks will start calling you an "expert." LOL.

          I have killed several deer with an inline muzzleloader. My distance has been from 20 yards to 200 yards. I had good luck with lightfields 300 grain and 250 grain SST's. I really like the light fields sabot's but hard to come by. Don't even know if they make anymore. I don't use more than 100 grains of powder. Tried 150 grains a couple times but never could get it to work that well.

            Last two bucks in Iowa during the early muzzle loader season have been shot at 168 yards and 198 yards. Neither one made it more than 10 yards.

            I really don't have anywhere to hunt where my shots would push more than 200 yards.

              Would love to have a custom smokeless one of these days.
