Low Pressure 50 Caliber Smokeless Loads in a 209 Factory Muzzleloader, 2 DVD set | eBay These 2 DVDs contain a demonstration of using Low Pressure Smokeless Loads in a 50 caliber factory muzzleloader.
Very excellent presentation for all levels of Muzzle Loader owners. You provided a very detailed presentation and I appreciate it. The only thing I'd add is the issue of UNLOADING AFTER THE HUNT. There will be times when you'll need to unload a fully charged MZ. This is were that breech plug removed comes in handy. When I first started , you had to shoot it to clear the MZ. MZ's like yours are excellent for the issue of unloading after the hunt. Again, not nicpicking just adding some additional information. You earn my Sub!!!! Semper Fi
I am looking to get into muzzelloader for fun...possibly hunting but I am not that into it anymore. I found your video and even though it is 5 years old, I have to say this is one of the best RU-vid videos ever.. Seriously man, you are a great talker and you really take your time and actually help without adding a bunch of fluff...thank you for that! Idk who the heck you are but I subbed and will be checking out more of your videos!
Excellent information and presentation for an old lady new to muzzleloading. You are the best! I echo all the positive comments from previous subscribers. Thank you.
albuquerque firing range! Got a muzzleloader hunt in unit 13 in a couple weeks for elk. Been scouting for 2 years. Super excited. Great video, helped a lot.
Does elk taste good looks like cow beef I would like to try some but in NJ we don't have elk we have Crack heads. I saw some dude on RU-vid cooking elk on the grill and man it looked so good. I asked at the meat market and some dude told me people don't eat elk again nj lots of tree huggers in Bergen County you can't even kill deer.
I inherited a inline muzzle loader and was told its been loaded for 5 years what steps should I take to make this safe? I have no experience with them at all
Very nicely done. I've not yet used an inline but it certainly looks easy enough. I really appreciate the calm and easy manner you teach with. I find it rare in younger folks, you my friend are a rare breed. Good work. Hope this year's(2019) season is good for you. Happy hunting from an old timer.
William J. Stilianessis much appreciated, William! I am honored by the words of an “old timer” such as yourself. I just posted a new video kicking off the new muzzleloader series. Let me know how that one looks, Will, when you have some time. I appreciate it! -Gregg Flores
Eric Newman my pleasure Eric! Good luck out there. Check out the new muzzleloader series on our channel as well. Part 1 just released! Thanks for watching! -Gregg
Great video. Had to sub right after it finished. Been looking at getting this exact muzzleloader and this was most helpful. That cleaning video sounds like a good idea
Actually, I have seen a video recently that got out to 300+ yds. no problem! Muzzleloaders are legendary. It's the shooter that also needs to become legendary.
The Creedmore (started as a competition between the Sharp's Rifle Company breechloaders and John Rigby & Co. muzzleloaders) and Bisley (started as a competition for the British Volunteer Rifle Corps (which unfortunately devolved into the almost worthless British NRA, no direct relation to the US one)) matches were 400, 800 and 1000 yards, with muzzleloaders in the 1860's and 70's. Actually the world record groups set by those rifles at those distances stood until the 1980's or 90's. Accuracy with firearms is all in the ammunition and the loading, with muzzleloaders, you do it all there on the firing line, basically. Most people just don't put the time, effort, and attention to detail into them to take them to their full potential.
Well, buck season is over for rifles, my son bought me a black power gun just like the one you have. Fixing to go to the lease and give it a work out.. Man, what a slog this thing throws out there, Thanks for all your help ?? Dave, Texas
Eliseo Aleman thanks for watching my friend! This is a CVA Accura. We justa posted a new muzzleloader video. We got a lot of questions from this video so we decided to launch a full 3 part series on muzzleloaders.
Thank you sir! You have no idea how helpful this was. I bought one off of a friend but had no idea as to how to use it. I got it because it sounded fun and now I’m excited to shoot it. Where are you from?
Kelly Ruiz Hi, Kelly! Glad this helped! We’re working on a shooting and cleaning video too! We are based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. How about you? -Gregg Flores
I’m new to muzzle loading, I was told by a veteran muzzle loader, never to ever use bore butter in the barrel with a sabot bullet it’s met for the old style ball and cloth type black powders. I dunno if that’s true, like I say I’m new to it
Looking to get back into deer hunting ( live in minnesota) . Just saw a buck stalker 50 cal muzzle loader. You video is very in formitive. Would you point me to all your videos on this muzzle loader; so I can get the most information on everything about it. I think I will be picking up up because saw a camouflage one a Runnings Store and under $300.00 to me is a good value. I had a Marlin 30-30 years ago from K- Mart and my dad only paid $200.00. So any good deer rifle under $300.00 is a rifle for me. Thank you Dave Chatelle
Hey Dave. Here are some other videos I’ve created on this subject: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ewrXZJ6Jyus.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VpAj2yBcqCs.html Thanks for watching! I’ll be producing a shooting segment soon. So stay tuned! Gregg Flores
thanks for the vid, beginning to learn muzzle loaders, sorry if i missed it- you said you like that muzzleloader a few times, particualrly when mentioning that it comes apart to clean, but i what is it?
If you want this to go subsonic how many grains of powder do you use? I would be interested in how quiet this thing would be if you used a subsonic load and a suppressor? I bet this could be a really silent hunting tool
paulrun111 hey Paul! A safe way to do it is, once you’re sure you have a true misfire and the weapon isn’t going to shoot, remove your primer and open the action. Remove the breach plug entirely (another reason an easily removable breach plug is a great feature to have). With the breach plug removed, you can then push your load out with your ramrod. With everything out, wouldn’t be a bad idea to make sure your barrel is clean and dry before loading another round and taking the next shot. Great question! -Gregg
@@WhereTheRiverRuns I am too. Was out at the range yesterday sighting in my muzzleloader. I have the traditions peep sight (fiber optic front sight). Did good at 100yds. Can hit the paper at 200 yds but it’s a guessing game…I’ll have to try to find that globe sight.
Earl Karow I’m going to cover the sighting in on Part 2 of our new inline muzzleloader series, Earl. The first part is now available. It’s a different video than this one here. We plan to shoot parts 2 and 3 within the next 2 weeks. Here’s a quick recap if you need the info now though. Be consistent with the amount of powder you use. Whether that’s 100 or 150 grains of powder. Keep your powder dry and your barrel clean. Load your muzzleloader. Take a shot. Every 2 shots go ahead and clean it out. Just get the majority of the powder cleaned out of the barrel. If you can’t load your muzzleloader, it needs to be cleaned. Look for part two of the new inline muzzleloader series this month, Earl, and thanks for watching! -Gregg Flores
for sighting in a scope make sure; 1) that your scopes' vertical reticle matches a known 100% vertical line such as a plumb bob line or as I have done, to drawn a line against a 4 ft level on a wall. 1a) during the lining up of the scope's reticle make sure that the rifle itself is PLUMB!. 2) set a target with a good bulls eye @ 25 yds approximately the same level as your rifle is on it's rest and the barrel close to level horizontally as possible...this bullseyes is your point of aim. 3) remove breech plug from MZ and set up on a stable rest, and look through the bore to see the bulls eye centering it closely within the bore. 4) DO NOT MOVE the MZ and adjust both windage & elevations turrets to align the crosshairs on the bulls eye (point of aim). 5) now fire the gun at 50 yds with a large target to see where the bullets impact the target and adjust accordlingly!
I had one of those in a Northwest ignition and I had no problem shooting patch round ball with it I had no idea what I did with it though I still can't find it to this day
@@WhereTheRiverRuns I was living in New Jersey at the time and it wasn't registered so therefore I really couldn't have reported it missing I bought it in Pennsylvania I wasn't going to wait 6 months to buy a non-firearm
Well. Every state has their own laws. In NM, a muzzleloader is not considered a high powered rifle, and, last I heard, even a felon could own and hunt with a muzzleoader here. There are no background checks, for example, for anyone purchasing a muzzleloader in NM.
So a friend of mine's been using this gun but he's been loading it with 70 grains of smokeless powder. So far it's been going okay but, should I be worried?
The horror stories I’ve heard associated with smokeless powder have been enough to keep me far away from it. I have no personal experience with it. Seems unsafe but I couldn’t speak from personal experience.
Yep, can't use sabots on your bullets, or pelletized powder charges (as shown in the video) either. For an outdoors/hunting/fishing focused state, we sure do come up with some stupid rules..... *insert eye roll here Oh well, muzzleloader antelope tag in my pocket, season 3 weeks away!
hey man awesome video! Do you clean your barrel every time you take a shot? I noticed we live in the same area, I haven't been to that gun range in awhile. Good luck on your hunts.
Probably every 2 shots I’ll use the brush to clear fouling. When I’m at the range. I’ve noticed any less than that and it becomes really hard to load a round.
What is a cheap bullet you can shoot out of these I tried patch round ball and it's only accurate to about 50 yards with a 50 grain powder charge which is probably not enough for anyting I'm thinking about going with the Hornady Great Plains bullet or maybe casting some Lee real molds
Hey I never got into muzzleloaders but now I'm liking it. Can you tell me if they are louder than a .22 pistol? People say that black powder guns have a quieter but longer "bang". Do you think that a homemade supressor can help? Thanks
@@WhereTheRiverRuns Yes there's one from SilencerCo Maxim 50 and if I'm not mistaken it costs 1000 so I forgot it instantly (btw I don't understand that fully, it's not classified as a supressor so no nfa regulations since it's permanently connected to the barrel)
Avery Black In states that offer “draw hunts”, where people have to basically put their name into a hat and draw a lottery ticket to hunt, you have better odds by applying for a muzzleloader hunt. Rifle hunts are by far the most popular so you can likely draw more hunts if you put in for a muzzleloader hunt. That’s really the only edge. Rifles have a longer reach and are much easier to reload. Thanks for watching! -Gregg
For here in NC. Muzzle load opens a month before rifle. So that means you get a head start of hunting white tail deer before everyone else. Reason why I'm here trying to see if its something I want to do.
Serge Ducharme right on the money, Serge. I too see a lot of folks getting misfires and blaming the weapon. All the while, the Bullet wasn’t properly seated! Or the powder was wet!
Every time I see or read about smokeless, I hear about someone’s head being accidentally blown up. Smokeless powder is not safe. At least, according to the videos and articles I’ve seen. Smokeless powder and in-line muzzleoaders can’t safely be used together from what I’ve seen/read/heard.
@@gregmcb5305 okay, Greg. Good to know. They’ve definitely got me scared. Haha! But it’s more a lack of experience. I have no experience with it. So every time I hear smokeless I hear “death”. Hahaha!!
@@WhereTheRiverRuns haha no worries, you should look into it. A 50cal muzzle loader running slow burn smokeless powder at subsonic speeds ie 950fps with a good twist rate would be a dream for hunting!(but that’s just me I like shooting subsonic)
Hey man, great job. After many, many years of enjoying firearms and most things that go with it I am finally interested in blackpowder. Your video was very informative and well put together. I originally was considering going with the build kits of the older style black powder rifles but after seeing your video I may go with an in-line muzzleloader. The in-line firearms seem like a mix of modern rifles and older styled black powder muzzleloaders. I'll be sure to check out some more of your videos. Well done. Stay safe, thanks again and God bless.
PANDURO 80 thanks for watching, my friend. To my knowledge, NM requires background checks for all new firearm purchases. Muzzleloaders included. You might call Sportsmans Warehouse to verify.
just bought one last night and no there was no background check , the gun I bought before Christmas took around 15 minutes and last night I was in and out
@@WhereTheRiverRuns muzzle loading Black powder guns don't require any paperwork in most states. That includes cap n' ball revolvers. Considered "Non-guns" lol!
I own the Acurra and it’s been great. Harvested my first mule deer with it. My brother owns the Optima. Also likes it. Seems like they’re a fairly decent muzzleloader for the price.
09 Honda It seems like they did it to offer a season between archery and rifle. The muzzleloader season offers the benefits of a rifle combined with rutting elk. It’s a good hunt if you can draw it!
warning: If you have a misfire, these instructions say to wait one minute but you have to wait two minutes not one minute. You should change this video immediately before somebody gets hurt or killed.
Of Course Americans will use English rules to pronounce foreign words but Sabot is French for "shoe". It is part of the word "sabotage" coined when a disgruntled factory worker tossed a shoe into a machine to deliberately foul it up. It's pronounced "sa-bo'" not "sabbit". So it literally means a shoe for the bullet.
Every state has many different laws for muzzle hunting. A few do not have a specific season. Some like Colorado are complicated. So be sure to do your homework maybe even before you get into it. Colorado doesn’t allow pellets, or sabots, or scope sights. Like I said homework.
I don't like it, the rifle I mean. I'll wager a bet that I can load my old fashioned ball and cap muzzleloader faster than that in-line. Oh, and be just as successful in the hunt. As far as cleaning, I swab out my barrel about every 3rd shot and haven't lost any accuracy or had a misfire. I have a cleaning jig that screws into the end of my ramrod, and I just put a pre-moistened cleaning patch in the jig and swab away. Then, at the end of the day, I throughly clean the rifle at home.
@@WhereTheRiverRuns - What I have is a Lyman Great Plains rifle that I purchased 30 years ago. I have since replaced the barrel with a Green Mountain 1:70 twist barrel that gives much better accuracy using round ball. This was back when Green Mountain offered a drop in barrel for this particular rifle. However, Lyman still offers a Great Plains rifle in 1:66 twist for round ball which is still really good. I replaced the barrel because I accidentally purchased my rifle with a 1:32 twist (I believe) which sucks for round ball accuracy, but okay for mini ball. I prefer shooting round ball myself. That's just the old timer in me, LOL...
In many places, muzzleloaders get an extra/extended season. I don't think there would be as much interest in them otherwise. That's the only reason I own one...
The primers we were using weren’t the right kind. We told the worker what our muzzleloader was and he gave us a box that he said would work. It took three primers for it to actually shoot. But by that time the buck was spooked. A bad day hunting is still better then a good day doing nothing!
