Bought a tradition muzzle loader that both Scheels and Cabels recommend, said was the one to buy for muzzle hunting in ND,
Turn out it was illegal as powder was loaded from rear.
So bought another tradition where powder is loaded from barrel end and 209 primer that i rode my bike with wife to Wisconsin to get along with a scope. Must be legal as i use.
So, i have 1600 invested and shot about 8 bullets at a piece of paper and at my age will probably never get another license.
But i have two more guns hanging on wall so that is good.
Now i am working on a Model 1 Ruger in 300 Weatherby. Hard to find so if one knows of one let me know. Would prefer an 1885 Winchester but the 45-70 drops about 10 feet at 500 yards. Looking for that 1000 yard shot on a buffalo, just like the old boys. db
