.45 cal muzzleloader

[musky5555]

I've already got a CVA .50 cal Kodiak, and I like it, but I'm looking to purchase a second muzzleloader.  I do a lot of hunting in Nebraska which allows for a scope, and the potential for long range shots.  I've been considering getting a .45 cal.  I've also noticed that .45's aren't very popular in stores.  Any thoughts?

I think if you have a .50cal smoke stick you have a single shot rifle capable of shooting a variety of bullets in .44 or .45 caliber with the right sabot sleeve and powder charge up to and beyond 200yds. (Scoped of coarse)

the reason you don't see many in .45caliber is because the industry chose to focus on .50cal. That's the direction the marketing went so the consumers went that way as well.

There is also a link on this page about different combinations of sabot and powders for range and what works best for other people.

Musky I sent you a PM
