Is it possible to bore sight a muzzle loader

Absolutely.

What action do you have. Bolt or break open?

TOO LATE!

Yep. Be sure you have the gun in a sturdy rest and look through the bore to get the bore lined up on your target, then make your scope adjustments while being careful not to move the gun. Can re look down the bore after making adjustments to see that it did not get moved. Bore sighting will get you close but you will still need to make adjustments.

dont be "too late"..lol

yup break it open and take out the breech plug. you can then look through the barrel and center the target in the end of the muzzle opening. there will be a dark ring around the muzzle opening and should be equally wide all the way around. now with the rifle rested still on sand bags or a bench, look to see if the sights or crosshairs are on the same spot.

This method should get your first shot on paper. The key to this is a steady rest. A little patience helps too. I use my "Lead Sled" on my dining room table and sight in through my picture window on the door knob on the door to my storage barn. It's about 45 yards from the house.

After bore sighting I take the gun outside and use the rest and shooting bench. I usually start sight in at 25 or 50 yards. With a steady hold, aim directly at the center of the bull and fire a shot. Now aim the gun at the center of the bull again. ( the gun will move some with recoil after shooting it ) While holding the gun rock solid adjust the crosshairs in the scope to center on where the bullet hit. Having someone else adjust the crosshairs is helpful also.

After firing the next shot you can tweak the crosshairs to get the point of impact where you want it at the range you want it. This saves a ton of hard to find ammo.
