brad dryden Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I was wondering if you were able to go and use turkey loads in a rifled muzzleloader ive seen them where you can buy them in plastic containers to put beeds in and put down barrle.

hangunnr Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Turkey hunting I've played with some of the Speer shot containers loaded in handgun cartridges. The performance was awful. The problem with this type of set up is that there will be spin imparted on the shot capsule. This will give you some very nice donut shaped patterns. Not exactly what you want in a hunting load. Unless of course you're hunting donuts........ hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hangunnr Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Turkey hunting The shot containers I've had were pretty brittle. I don't recall having any problems with plastic fouling. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rutnroy Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Re: Turkey hunting i use the shot cups in my knight 2000 ml . but it is a 12 quage. i've never heard of using a rifled say 50 cal. for shot. this gun is very accurate and shoots great patterns. took two toms last year,one at 45 yds. ,the other at 35yds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
