This sounds like a lot of gun but I question whether we need a muzzle loader with 250 yard capabilities. I have a disc rifle and use it almost exclussively but I wonder where we start to draw a line. I think most of us would think it unwise to attempt 100 yard shots at deer with a bow even though there may be enough energy to do it. While a very select few might be able to do this it is, in my opinon, unresponsible to promote or market this capability. I think the same holds true with 250+ yard muzzle loader shots. I don't know anyone who could consistently make that long of a shot with bullet drop of 15" or more along with wind drift and all the variables in loading, but I know at least one who would try because the manufactor said it was ok. He would say it was my only chance so I took a poke rather than waiting for a better chance or another day.
Last thing, my disc rifle kicks like holy heck with 150 grains and a 300 grain bullet. What will this monster do with 375 or 390 grain bullets? I don't think I want to be on either end of that! My rifle with scope, sling, and loaded is almost 8 pounds and that is barley enought to absorb some recoil.:wall:
