For the record, my last hunting trip of 2022 was with a smokeless muzzleloader. I was in my stand for about 3 hours and I shot 4 times. I killed, in order, a tree limb (about 20' from the muzzle instead of hitting the cote that was 85 yds away), 2 coyotes, and a nice doe which was the 15th deer that I saw that morning. During all but the last of my reloads, I had yet another coyote pass by. Turns out they had built a den about 40 yds behind my stand. That was, by far, the most shooting I've ever done in a single morning of hunting. 1 shot normally does the trick, but I never go out without my ramrod and enough for 2 or 3 more shots. :) I do love smokeless muzzleloaders, but be aware, when loaded hot, they do a LOT of damage to the game animal, and more than just a little to your shoulder.
What I would like to see is a company like this one make a modern version of the Neeedle Rifle. Such a rifle would be ideal.. If my eyes had not failed me ending my career as a machinist I would have chosen a modified Chassepot designfiring a load consisting of two or three pelletized powder grains held together with a nitrocellulose based glue and to hold the bullet. Such a glue would also make the cartridge stiffer and water proof
@@BlueMountainPrecision the entire point of having a muzzleloader season is to get back to the roots of rifle hunting. These modern “black powder” rifles poop all over the reason there is a muzzleloading season. What’s next? A high powered rifle that shoots arrows for bow season? If you think you need to shoot with high tech ammo and have sub MOA accuracy when hunting DONT USE A MUZZLELOADER.🧐
@BlueMountainPrecision BlueMountain pay no attention, you build amazing rifles with extreme accuracy. If I already didn't have my 45XML smokless McWhorter I would of called you. Beautiful rifle you build. Best of luck
I love my 45 smokeless. Have had it for several years and it is awasone on deer with a 300gr parker bullet. Hillbill built mine.

What is the average cost to have a 45 built with a steel barrel
4950 With a SS barrel and 5450 with a CF barrel. Thx
That’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Get a normal rifle. Y’all have completely missed the point of muzzleloading season altogether.
So accuracy is Dumb? We are into 1 shot kills and being that our rifle shop name carries the precision name why would we build anything Stone Age?
