When you can hit with it at 250 yards, what's the point of the special season?
Why is an Italian firm like Pedersoli involved in U.S. muzzleloading season rules, anyway? They're not in any danger of selling fewer guns, muzzleloading or cartridge.
I understand Pedersoli's position, but the fact is that muzzleloading seasons these days are not to challenge hunters with "primitive weapons" they are game management scheduling to kill off some of the surplus does. The game wardens don't give a hoot about tradition. I have read that it is easier for them to tinker with muzzleloading and archery special hunts than it is to change the regular season rifle hunts which are fixed by law in some states.
Muzzleloaders are muzzleloaders, period.
I disagree. If that were true, why would've there been the move from flintlock to percussion in the 19th Century?
My question on this issue has always been is it the inline or the sabot that's the "offending" device. Define that and strategize accordingly. Seems the attack is strictly against the inline guns and not the true cause of the distance advantage.
