Muzzleoader velocity
« on: November 30, 2007, 05:35:18 AM »
Was wondering if  anybody knew which was faster using 240-300 grain bullets in .44 mag. in saboted jackets in an inline muzzleloader or is the bullet faster being fired out of modern rifle, using comparable bullets?
thanks in advance

Usually the modern smokeless powder  rifle is faster!

I am shooting smokeless powder in my Savage muzzleloader. I get 2,300 fps with the .45  250 XTP, and it is not a big deal to crank it up to 2,500 fps if your shoulder can take it.
I doubt you will get close to that speed from that Ruger carbine.
